Welcome to the MongoDB Developer Community Forums!
We’re very excited to help you join, share, and contribute to the MongoDB community. Here are a few FAQs to get you started with the forum.
What’s on-topic for discussions?
The majority of categories are related to using or learning about products and services in the MongoDB ecosystem. Each category on the site has a general description of the expected discussion topics. If you’re not sure where to post, choose the most likely category. As a last resort, there is also Other MongoDB Topics for general MongoDB discussion.
Additionally, there are some categories to help you meet and network with other community members, such as:
- Welcome – introduce yourself and learn about other community members
- Open Source Projects – discussion about open source projects built on MongoDB technologies
- The Treehouse – casual, off-topic discussion
Is this an official support forum?
No, this is a forum for public community discussion and collaboration. MongoDB team members are active on the forum, but anyone in the community is encouraged to share their experience and advice.
If you have an urgent production issue or are looking for 24x7 SLA-based support, you may want to consider MongoDB Support.
Is there a new user tutorial?
Indeed! If you haven’t already, be sure to respond to @leafiebot in your message inbox for a quick walk-through of basic UI elements in this site. Complete the tutorial to earn your first badge! 
Are there any guidelines for expected behavior?
Yes. All community members are expected to follow our Community Code of Conduct to make this a welcoming, friendly community for all.
You should only post your own content, and should not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. Instead of reposting existing discussions from another community site, you should include your questions or concerns in a forum post and link to the original discussion for context.
You may not post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing someone’s intellectual property (software, video, audio, images), or for breaking any other law.
If you see posts that may need assistance from the moderation team, please Flag concerning posts for moderator review.
