It's Friday! You know what that means...

## 🎉 Welcome to the MongoDB $weeklyUpdate! 🎉

Each week, we bring you the latest and greatest from our Developer Relations team — from blog posts and YouTube videos to meet-ups and conferences — so you don’t miss a thing.

## 💻 What’s Up on Developer Center?

Everything you see on [Developer Center](https://www.mongodb.com/developer/) is by developers, for developers. This is where we publish articles, tutorials, quickstarts, and beyond. 🚀

### Featured Post

#### [How to Secure MongoDB Data Access with Views](https://www.mongodb.com/developer/products/mongodb/secure-data-access-views/)

Sometimes, MongoDB collections contain sensitive information that requires access control. Using the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) provided by MongoDB, it's easy to restrict access to this collection. But what if you want to share your collection to a wider audience without exposing sensitive data? That's what this article from Maxime Beugnet explores.

## 🗓️ Mark Your Calendars

Every month, all across the globe, we organize, attend, speak at, and sponsor events, meetups, and shindigs to bring the DevRel community together. Here’s what we’ve got cooking:

Our MUG Hyderabad was a great event with all speakers coming from the community. MUG Leader [Yashraj Kakkad]( https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/u/Yashraj_Kakkad) came up with a fantastic idea to run an interesting networking session, where people were divided into random groups to know each other. We had an open mic discussion at the end to share our experiences with MongoDB. Thank you to our MUG leaders, [Jayant Acharya](https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/u/Jayant_Acharya) and [Archy Gupta](https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/u/Archy_Gupta). We're also very grateful for our speakers:
