Native MongoDB to Sequelize with PostgreSQL
Every long-term project will outlive at least some of the technologies it was originally built with. For example, a project I have been involved with recently ran into this situation. The app is hosted on Heroku, and over the years, the available MongoDB add-ons have changed and dwindled until now, there is only one.
Several migrations between MongoDB add-ons have already happened because of shutdowns. So, it was decided that rather than migrating to the last one still in existence, the project would switch to using PostgreSQL, which is supported directly by the Heroku team.
Go With A Vue
Last year I blogged about creating a Lean Mean Vue Machine called Quotes on Demand. The application was a fully-featured CRUD application served from a NodeJS server and had a self-contained VueJS front end. Since then I’ve also added a Python version of the same API.
But wouldn’t it be a nice test to see if that same Vue application could switch over to another API – say, something like a Golang application server?
In this post, we will create a Golang application server that will have 100% parity to an existing NodeJS web application. This will enable an existing VueJS front end to connect to the application with no additional code changes in the user interface code.
JSON Web Token .NET Core Demo
In this post, I present a tiny .NET Core C# JWT API demo that creates and parses a JSON Web Token (JWT). A self-contained Swagger UI dashboard exercises the API.
We can’t dead-drop a JWT demo without wrapping it in words about JWT background. I’ll set the scene by introducing tokens, JWTs, and surveying session state residency tradeoffs. We’ll then migrate to, high-level JWT JWT use cases, and arguments about if or when to use JWTs.
I seek to give equal coverage to JWT upsides and downsides. Let’s get started.
