Website DB App

Problem

• Static personal website difficult to scale and maintain

What I did - Create a local app to update db

• Solution: Chose to build a local app to manage a mongoDB. Local for security, db for scalability, app for maintainability
• REST API: Implemented CRUD (create, read, update, destroy) functionality with a REST architecture
• Increments: Broke down into 4 (CRUD) deliverables
• Monaco editor: Chose it before Trix, Quill, or Summernote to implement input controls because I’m familiar with vscode syntax and I wanted to learn it
• Staging db: Local db helps test db updates before pushing they are live

Results

• Being able to quickly make updates and verify results
• I posted about this app. If you're interested, read my post: "The journey from a simple decision all the way to develop a full-fleshed product"
