Btw, those are listed above in reverse order. You should do them in the order:

  1. AI-Powered Search
  2. Building RAG Apps

Challenge accepted — and completed in a single day!
Here is the result of my participation: result
two more badges earned! :green_heart::fire:

Through these two badges, I strengthened my understanding of core MongoDB concepts. I learned how to build and optimize aggregation pipelines, and I also improved my ability to perform efficient and secure CRUD operations. Together, these skills helped me deepen my knowledge of how to model, query, and work with data more effectively in MongoDB.
