Hard Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Please review these prerequisites, they include important information that will help you with this content.
  • TOPICS: MongoDB and Python

  • Create a docker composition that will run mongodb. You will be connecting to this container while developing, be sure to commit your composition to your repo.

    Also: DO NOT hardcode your connection configuration into your Python code. Use environmental variables. For example: MONGO_HOST = os.getenv("MONGO_HOST","localhost"). Make sure you understand why this is a good idea.
