In this hands-on data modeling workshop, we will explore common MongoDB schema design patterns and learn how to avoid antipatterns. You will get first-hand experience with the following patterns:

  • Extended reference
  • Computed
  • Inheritance

We’ll also cover common schema design antipatterns:

  • Unbounded arrays
  • Bloated documents

You’ll learn not only how to identify these antipatterns but also why they can be detrimental to your database’s performance.

At the end of this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to earn the Schema Design Patterns and Antipatterns MongoDB skill badge that you can add to your LinkedIn profile.
