Three weeks to go -- Testing & Debugging MongoDB Stitch Functions
There are three weeks remaining in the MongoDB World Hackathon. Submissions are due April 30, 2019 before 5pm ET (See what time that is in your city). Be sure to get started on your submission and remember, once you submit a project, you can keep editing it as needed at any time prior to the submission deadline.

Testing & Debugging MongoDB Stitch Functions
When discussing serverless computing (Functions as a Service) with developers, a common concern that arises is the complexity of testing and debugging your functions. Fortunately, the MongoDB Stitch UI makes this simple.
It's a bit old school, but if you want to display debug info from your functions, then it's as simple as adding console.log() commands to your code. If testing the function through the Stitch UI, the output appears in the Results panel. When executed normally, the output appears in the Stitch logs.
To test a Stitch function from the UI, select a user for the function to run as (that way the function can access whatever data the user is entitled to). In the Console panel, call exports(<parameters>), including any parameters that the function expects – these could be simple values or complex documents.
The results of the function call (the returned data + any console.log() output) appear in the Results panel.
If you want to check on what's happening in your production apps, check out the Logspanel in the Stitch UI.
