How to Get Started with MongoDB in Node.js
Adrian Witan, a valued member of our development teams at gravity9, has thoughtfully put together a guide to implementing MongoDB in Node.js.
It provides straightforward yet thorough guidance on getting started and also covers specifics like connecting to a database within Atlas, CRUD operations, aggregation pipelines, change streams, Atlas searching, and transactions.
To skip further background info and get started, the complete guide can be found here, on GitHub.
What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is one of the top five most popular database systems in the world. It is a document-oriented NoSQL database that stores information in JSON documents, unlike relational databases like Oracle, MySQL, or Microsoft SQL. This makes MongoDB highly adaptable and scalable and especially popular for web applications.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is one of the world’s most popular web development platforms, renowned for its potency in building scalable, fast applications for both front-end and back-end using JavaScript.
Getting Started in MongoDB with Node.js
With MongoDB and Node.js proving supremely popular in software development circles, it’s natural that developers working with these technologies will need to implement MongoDB in Node.js.
Developer Adrian Witan has put together a complete guide on how to get MongoDB and Node.js to work together. The guide covers connecting to a database within Atlas, CRUD operations, aggregation pipelines, change streams, Atlas searching, and transactions.
At gravity9, we encourage and celebrate knowledge sharing and collaboration, and again, Adrian has gone a step further by making this information publicly available on GitHub. We’re proud to be able to share his hard work openly and hope it proves useful to developers everywhere.
