Dataseeding

Some think it’s not prudent to run tests or replicate bugs using production databases. Cowards! But as sometimes they’re bound to be the decision-makers, we need to learn how to populate a local DB with mock data. In the process, you will learn good engineering practices, which will come in handy throughout your career.

A Brief Orientation

Wilco is where devs like you acquire, practice, and master new skills using a real-life tech stack. Our hands-on developer challenges look and feel like real work tasks, including things like PRs and cloud deployment. While Sierra is just an experiment, the main Wilco catalog already helps engineers and companies around the world.

"Segment is an infrastructure-type tool that can be hard to demo without having other components present. Wilco's quest builder makes it easy to have those components preconfigured so that the prospective customer can jump right into the learning rather than spending a lot of time fiddling with environmental quirks. Wilco was a great fit for us at Segment because it neatly wraps the whole developer experience.”

By getting developers to use MongoDB as part of a quest, and dive into our developer data platform, we hope to open the doors to them to consider MongoDB for their next project or workload.
