Join us for a developer-focused MongoDB workshop where you’ll learn the fundamentals of Atlas Search — and earn a MongoDB Skill Badge to validate your knowledge!
In this session, we’ll explore how Atlas Search works under the hood, how to build and configure search indexes, and how to construct rich and efficient $search and $searchMeta queries. You’ll gain a solid understanding of features such as autocomplete, fuzzy search, facets, custom scoring, and more — enabling you to build powerful search experiences directly within MongoDB Atlas.
This is a talk-style session — no laptop needed. The skill badge test can be completed on your phone.
Venue: CDT Hub, Kneza Miloša 12, Belgrade
Speaker: Marko Aleksendrić — MongoDB Champion & book author
