More To Come With Node

(some more topics I hope to write up)

• CRUD: leveraging http methods on resources to create, read, update and delete data
• authorization: protecting api resources from unauthorized client requests
• connecting to databases: maybe a brief overview of connecting to mongodb and associating a trivial crud api to mongodb resources
• load testing: using a cli tool like siege to gain some understanding of the scalability of a node server
• scaling:
  • "vertically": taking advantage of more resources available on a machine than the basic http server setup provides: multi-threading, clustering...
  • managing workloads: worker threads, child_processes and "offloading" some work from the primary process
