Databases such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL communicate over the network, making them vulnerable to interception. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the communication between the client and the database server to prevent data exposure. This encryption ensures that: 1. Data Integrity: No third party can modify the data in transit. 2.

Avoiding False Positives in Node.js Tests

When running tests, it's a great feeling to see dozens of green check marks indicating that a test suite is passing. It's especially gratifying after tackling a tricky bug or slogging through a tough feature. But those passing tests may be giving you a false sense of security.
