Hands-On Microservices with Kotlin

Connecting with the Mongo client

In another terminal window, in the same Mongo bin directory, we can just run:

mongo

After a couple of seconds, we will see:

I CONTROL [initandlisten]>

That is our command interface. We can now just type any command followed by Enter. For example, if we execute the db.version() command, we will get something like:

> db.version()3.4.9

We can close our connection to the database and end the client using the exit command:

> exitbye

You can find out what other commands are available by using the help command or reading the detailed MongoDB documentation: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/. MongoDB also provides free courses and certification at https://university.mongodb.com.
