gRPC [Golang] Master Class Build Modern API and Microservices - MongoDB Driver Golang Setup

This tutorial covers setting up MongoDB drivers for a Go program, including installation, connection, and creating collections. It addresses challenges with MongoDB drivers, provides resources, and demonstrates defining data models using BSON. The video concludes with final setup steps and testing the connection.

Why did the instructor choose the official MongoDB Go driver over MGo?

• MGo is not compatible with Go.

• The official driver is recommended by MongoDB.

• MGo is deprecated.

• The official driver is more secure.

How is a MongoDB collection made globally accessible in Go?

• By using a global variable

• By defining it as a constant

• By creating a new instance each time

• By using a local variable

What is the purpose of mapping Go data models to BSON?

• To simplify data model creation

• To ensure data is stored in JSON format

• To match MongoDB's data storage format

• To improve data retrieval speed

What is the final step after setting up the MongoDB connection?
