Introducing the New MongoDB Application Delivery Certification

Since we launched our System Integrators Certification Program in 2022, we have certified over 18,000 associates and architects across MongoDB’s various system integrator, advisory, and consulting services partners. This program gives system integrators a solid foundation in MongoDB and the capabilities that enable them to architect modernization projects and modern, AI-enriched applications.

Our customers continue to tell us that they are looking to innovate quicker and take advantage of new technologies, and we want to support them in these goals. They want to work with partners who have in-depth knowledge of the problems they are trying to solve and hands-on experience working with the technology they are implementing.

To meet this customer need and continue to evolve our partnership with our system integrators, we have launched the MongoDB Application Delivery Certification. This is a natural evolution of our certification program that provides comprehensive training and equips developers and application delivery leads with the knowledge and skills needed to design, develop, and deploy modern solutions at scale.

Driving innovation alongside our partners

The MongoDB Application Delivery Certification includes exclusive, partner-only, online learning and hands-on labs, as well as a proctored certification exam that teaches application delivery fundamentals and implementation best practices. Partners can expect carefully curated content on everything from optimizing storage, queries, and aggregation to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and how to architect and deliver with Atlas Vector Search.

We piloted this new program with our partners at Accenture and Capgemini to ensure it would drive value for all participants. Twenty developers were invited from each company to participate in an initial version of the curriculum and were able to provide their input on its content. Based on their feedback, we created a program that’s completely self-service and flexible, so learners can fit the coursework into their schedules, at their own pace.

"With the growth of AI and data-powered applications, Capgemini are investing in our staff to ensure they have the skills required for this transformation,” said Steve Jones, Executive Vice President, Data Driven Business & Collaborative Data Ecosystems at Capgemini. “The MongoDB Application Delivery Certification helps ensure our people have the right skills to help MongoDB and Capgemini collaborate with our clients on delivering the maximum business value possible in the data-powered future."

"Accenture, a strategic partner and part of MongoDB’s AI Application Program, leverages MongoDB’s certification program to ensure the highest quality of delivery capability as our clients race to modernize legacy systems to MongoDB,” said Ram Ramalingam, Senior Managing Director and Global Lead, Platform Engineering and Intelligent Edge at Accenture.

We understand that for many businesses, speed is a necessity, and keeping pace with the technological innovation in the current market is essential. Now, customers looking to implement MongoDB solutions will be able to do so quickly and easily by working with partners who have achieved the new MongoDB Application Delivery Certification. They can have the peace of mind knowing that these validated partners are extensively equipped to create and deploy robust MongoDB solutions at scale.

What’s more, this new certification will provide partners with other opportunities. Partners who have demonstrated deep technical expertise by successfully completing the MongoDB Application Delivery Certification Program may be considered for the MongoDB AI Applications Program (MAAP). This will give them access to a greater network of customers that need help building and deploying modern applications enriched with AI technology.
