dokku-letsencrypt VS MongoDB

# plugin installation requires root, hence the user change sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt.git

downloads and installs dokku-letsencrypt on server

$ sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt.git $ dokku config:set --global [email protected] $ dokku domains:set app-name your-domain.com $ dokku letsencrypt:enable app-name $ dokku letsencrypt:cron-job --add

You need SSL certificate for your website. With Dokku you can add it in several ways, using official Let's Encypt plugin, or using your own certificate, or using a Cloudflare SSL. Any of these do, but don't neglect this step.

There are env vars you need to configure so let’s encrypt knows your email address. The plugin docs are worth reading: https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt

# on Dokku host sudo dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt.git

Right now (when I wrote this post), there is no wildcard support from dokku-letsencrypt plugin. Luckily, Dokku itself can use certificates from other sources.

As you may have noticed, our application is available on our Dokku host now – but only in an unencrypted fashion (note the lack of https in the address bar). Thankfully, we live in the age of LetsEncrypt offering free TLS certificates, and Dokku makes it easy to enable automatic certificate retrieval and setup for our application via the dokku-letsencrypt plugin. I strongly recommend setting up this plugin so that people using our application can enjoy securely encrypted web-traffic. Once installed (see installation and initial setup instructions), we can enable the LetsEncrypt integration for our application with a single command:

First, visit MongoDB Atlas and create an account, or sign in if you already have one. This article will guide you through the process of creating a MongoDB account. You should be redirected to your dashboard once you have completed the process. Locate the Connect button and click it.

On the other hand, NoSQL databases are non-relational databases. They store data in flexible, JSON-like documents, key-value pairs, or wide-column stores. Examples include MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra.

I built each API with Node.js, Express, and Docker. Services connected to a NoSQL MongoDB database.

In edge computing, managing time series blob data efficiently is critical for performance-sensitive applications. This blog post will compare ReductStore, a specialized time series database for unstructured data, and MongoDB, a widely-used NoSQL database.

MongoDB to store our data as documents, close to JS objects

MongoDB: Known for its ease of development and strong community support, MongoDB is effective in scenarios where flexible schema and rapid iteration are more critical than strict ACID compliance.

Ensure you have MongoDB installed for data storage. You can download MongoDB Community Server from MongoDB's official website or use the cloud cluster.

We will be using MongoDB as a database on both the Auth microservice and notifications microservice, sign up for a MongoDB Atlas account here incase you donot have one and donot have its desktop application(mongodb campass) installed and would like to use mongodb atlas. This cloud-based database service offers a free tier and simplifies the process of managing MongoDB databases.

Head over to MongoDB and create an account or login to grab your connection string.
