If you’ve spent any time learning MongoDB on YouTube, you’ve likely visited our main channel. It’s been the hub for all video content—from company news and keynote highlights to the tutorials that help you get your first cluster up and running.
But as the MongoDB community has grown, so has the depth and breadth of technical content you’re asking for. To make sure you can always find the engineering resources you need without any fluff, we’re creating a dedicated home for developer video content.
Today, we’re officially launching the MongoDB for Developers YouTube channel.
Learning the how and the why
We know that being a great developer isn't just about copy-pasting code snippets. It’s about understanding the why behind architectural decisions. That’s why this channel focuses on two parallel paths:
Hands-on Building: We’ll walk through real-world implementations, building applications from scratch so you can see exactly how MongoDB fits into a modern tech stack.
Core Concepts and Tools: We’ll be exploring the engineering principles that make document databases powerful. From schema design and indexing strategies to learning new tools, we’ll provide the conceptual foundation you need to solve complex problems.
What’s on the channel?
Whether you’re just starting your coding journey or you’re a seasoned pro optimizing a global cluster, we’re building a library of resources to help you level up:
Deep-dive tutorials: Technical walkthroughs on everything from advanced aggregation pipelines to Atlas Search
Skills badge lessons: Structured educational content focused on core engineering principles to help you earn recognized credentials and grow your career
Interactive livestreams: Regular sessions where you can join our Developer Advocates for live builds, deep dives into new features, interviews with guests, and real-time Q&A
The week 1 lineup
We’re hitting the ground running with a full week of content to get you started:
Monday: A technical premiere on Vision RAG—learn how to combine AI vision with retrieval-augmented generation.
Tuesday: A live session with Pixeltable, hosted by Apoorva Joshi.
Wednesday: Why MongoDB—A Skills Badge lesson exploring the fundamental advantages of the document model.
Thursday: A quick-hit YouTube short on ACID in MongoDB.
Friday: Foundations of MongoDB—The essential course for building a solid data foundation.
Let’s build something together
This channel is a resource for you, and we want to build it with your input. After you subscribe, jump into the comments and let us know what tools, frameworks, or database challenges you’d like us to tackle next.
We’re excited to help you build faster and scale further. See you in the comments.
