How to Optimize MongoDB Performance for Node.js

To update a document in MongoDB, I used to fetch it, update the values, and save back the entry. I would question the need for an update method. Looking back, it's evident that performance optimizations were hardly a concern when working on a personal project. Working with a larger dataset is a whole different story, though. This is where no-code tools can't help. In this article, I'll share some of my learnings when it comes to working in MongoDB with millions of documents.

What is API Led Connectivity | Understanding API-Led Connectivity

APIs (application programming interfaces) are increasingly acting as the “missing link” to help organizations integrate all their systems, applications, and databases. So how can you take advantage of API integrations for yourself? The answer is API-led connectivity. API-led connectivity is a systematic approach that uses APIs to seamlessly integrate diverse technologies within an organization, enabling efficient data and application access while fostering agility and innovation.

How to use WebSockets with React and Node

In this WebSocket tutorial, Alex Booker from Ably (@CodeCast) teaches you how to implement realtime updates in your React applications. Here, we use React on the frontend and Node on the back to build a live cursors feature from scratch, but the fundamental WebSocket lessons can be applied to any manner of realtime application. WebSockets are a bidirectional full-duplex communication protocol used to enable realtime updates such as chat, multiplayer collaboration, notifications, and other live updates in your React applications.
