Which MongoDB Professional exam is right for me?

MongoDB offers two exam types: Database Administrators and Application Developers.

Database Administrator (DBA) – A MongoDB database administrator has in-depth knowledge of run-time configuration, processes, scaling, backup and recovery, monitoring, and performance tuning for production MongoDB instances.

Developer – A software engineer fluent in at least one programming language and its associated MongoDB driver. An application developer has a detailed understanding of MongoDB CRUD operations, the driver API, schema design, aggregation and basic scaling.

We currently offer certification at the Associate Level for the DBA and Developer roles. Certification at other levels will be available in the future.
