Our community is the heart of MongoDB, and we’re always looking for ways to help you connect, learn, and build amazing things. We’ve noticed that the most vibrant technical discussions are already happening on platforms you use every day, like Stack Overflow and Reddit. Instead of splitting the conversation, we want to embrace this and focus our energy where you are.
Evolving our forum into a true community hub
Starting September 24th, we’ll begin focusing on answering technical questions on Stack Overflow and Reddit. This allows us to evolve this forum from a Q&A forum into a dedicated Community Hub, a place focused entirely on connection, collaboration, and creativity. This will become your go-to space to:
- Showcase your projects and get feedback from peers.
- Share your favorite tutorials, articles, and videos.
- Connect with our community programs, including Champions, user groups, and events.
- Celebrate your contributions and get recognized for your expertise.
- Participate in learning challenges and continue your learning journey on MongoDB University.
Where to get answers to your MongoDB questions
To get you the fastest and most accurate solutions, here’s where to go:
-
Reddit (r/mongodb): Ideal for discussing best practices, architectural opinions, and broader questions with multiple perspectives.
-
Stack Overflow: Ideal for specific, code-related questions and technical issues that need a clear answer. Refer to their best practices for asking questions.
-
MongoDB Knowledge Bot: This bot is trained on our official documentation and can provide instant answers to any MongoDB-related question.
Available on the MongoDB Forums on the 24th September 2025
