In this tutorial, we will dive head first into utilizing MongoDB’s Flask-PyMongo library! We will build a basic CRUD (create, read, update, delete) Flask-PyMongo application and learn about how intuitive this library is for building fully functional Flask applications.

DjangoCon Europe is just around the corner, and this year, it’s in Dublin, Ireland. This means two things:

1. I’m legally required to drink my first Guinness (yes, first ever!).
2. I obviously had to build an app to help me find the best pubs to accomplish my Guinness goal.

This full-stack, AI-powered Dublin City Center Pub Finder app is built using our new Django MongoDB Backend Python package, Voyage AI embeddings to best understand the queries, and LangChain to power our natural-language interface.

So, if you’re in Dublin and you really want a “Guinness, outside, with live music,” this Pub Finder will help you find the three best options!

Before we go into how it works and how you can build it yourself, let’s go over the platforms used.

Get Hyped: Using Docker + Go with MongoDB

August 18, 2021 Anaiya Raisinghani

In the developer community, ensuring your projects run accurately regardless of the environment can be a pain. Whether it’s trying to recreate a demo from an online tutorial or working on a code review, hearing the words, "Well, it works on my machine…" can be frustrating. Instead of spending hours debugging, we want to introduce you to a platform that will change your developer experience: Docker.

Docker is a great tool to learn because it provides developers with the ability for their applications to be used easily between environments, and it's resource-efficient in comparison to virtual machines. This tutorial will gently guide you through how to navigate Docker, along with how to integrate Go on the platform. We will be using this project to connect to our previously built MongoDB Atlas Search Cluster made for using Synonyms in Atlas Search. Stay tuned for a fun read on how to learn all the above while also expanding your Gen-Z slang knowledge from our synonyms cluster. Get hyped!

Get Hyped: Synonyms in MongoDB Atlas Search

August 11, 2021 Anaiya Raisinghani

Sometimes, the word you're looking for is on the tip of your tongue, but you can't quite grasp it. For example, when you're trying to find a really funny tweet you saw last night to show your friends. If you're sitting there reading this and thinking, "Wow, Anaiya and Nic, you're so right. I wish there was a fix for this," strap on in! We have just the solution for those days when your precise linguistic abilities fail you, but you have an idea of what you're looking for: Synonyms in Atlas Search.

In this tutorial, we are going to be showing you how to index a MongoDB collection to capture searches for words that mean similar things. For the specifics, we're going to search through content written with Generation Z (Gen-Z) slang. The slang will be mapped to common words with synonyms and as a result, you'll get a quick Gen-Z lesson without having to ever open TikTok.

If you're in the mood to learn a few new words, alongside how effortlessly synonym mappings can be integrated into Atlas Search, this is the tutorial for you.
