I had the pleasure of co-authoring Mastering MongoDB 7.0 together with Elie Hannouch, Rajesh Nair, and Rachelle Palmer, as well as good friends Arek Borucki, Leandro Domingues, and Malak Abu Hammad. It's a book we wrote for developers who already know their way around MongoDB but want to take their skills to the next level.

The book walks you through MongoDB 7.0 from the ground up—starting with architecture and developer tools, then diving deep into the things that really matter when you're building serious applications: advanced queries, aggregation pipelines, and multi-document ACID transactions.

We spent a good amount of time on MongoDB Atlas, the cloud platform that's become central to how many teams work with MongoDB today. You'll learn about monitoring, backups, and some of the newer features like Atlas Vector Search (which is becoming increasingly relevant with the rise of AI applications) and Atlas Search for building powerful search functionality.

Security gets its own dedicated treatment—we cover role-based access control, user management, auditing, and encryption at various layers. These aren't the most glamorous topics, but they're essential when you're responsible for real data in production.

By the end, you should feel confident tackling complex queries, optimizing performance with proper indexing, and keeping your data secure.

Who is it for?

If you're a developer, database administrator, or software engineer with some MongoDB experience who wants to deepen your expertise, this book was written with you in mind.
