MongoDB VS Restify

The MongoDB JavaScript driver uses and requires node.js, which is what 99.9% of server-side JavaScript implementations use.

Mongo Drivers

If you look at how major backend projects structure their code, it's almost always object-oriented TypeScript.

I submit for the record:

- Apollo Client: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/blob/main/src...

- Storybook: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/next/lib/chann...

- Nest: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/master/packages/core/nes...

- MongoDB Driver: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/main/src...

- Prisma: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/blob/main/packages/engine-c...

The MongoDB Node.js Driver, to save data to MongoDB;

The error probably is a MongoServerError, not MongoError, see https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/HEAD/etc/notes/errors.md

The most basic way to interact with MongoDB is using the Official MongoDB Node.js Driver, in this guide we will use Mongoose an object modeling tool.

Now when you use the collection, you'll get better type support for for all the collection methods. Note that I had to make the _id required on the schema. If you make it optional, you still get a type error. The node driver team is working on this and other issues related to the type of _id in this PR: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/pull/3077

To communicate with MongoDB database we will need Node driver mongodb. So install it.

Could this _ensureIndex be the problem? I think that may be calling into listIndexes here: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/2b18411d2f57e06d11262d5a308c56a9f561789e/lib/operations/db_ops.js#L305. IIRC, ensureIndex is deprecated, and you should use createIndex instead. I'm not familiar with meteor, so I'm not exactly sure what that code looks like, but the README shows how to access the underlying MongoDB driver directly: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/packages/mongo#direct-access-to-npm-mongodb-api. Hope that helps!

Restify & Fastify Hapi

Restify – Optimized NodeJS Microservice Framework

We've seen this framework forking happen a lot as good ideas are remixed like Aurelia via Angular, Derw via Elm, Restify via Express, and Spring Boot via Spring to name a few. It's interesting to me this obsession with performance that Preact has with their ability to provide a simple API. That said, I am in no way convinced this'll solve the architecture problem. Without at least guidance, or more importantly, a framework + docs on how to utilize Signals at scale, you'll just end up with a random mess. Still, it's awesome how far they've come, and it's neat to see them still innovating years later.

Restify.js: Future of Node.js REST development

Express GraphQL is a library for building production ready GraphQL HTTP middleware. Despite the emphasis on Express in the repo name, you can create a GraphQL HTTP server with any HTTP web framework that supports connect styled middleware. This includes Connect itself, Express and Restify.

Is express still the go-to HTTP server? How are hapi and restify doing? Has koa ever really picked up? Is there any new cool stuff to watch out for (fastify, anyone)?

Restify - No native support yet. Support merged mid-2020, scheduled for a v9 release.
