Example YAML configuration for a project requiring a Mongo as a pipeline dependency.

version: "1"
services:
  - name: mongo
    image: mongo:latest
    pull: always

steps:
  - name: check status
    image: mongo:latest
    pull: always
    commands:
      # sleeping can help ensure the service adequate time to start
+      - sleep 15
      - /bin/mongosh --host mongo --eval 'db.runCommand("ping")'
