soapui VS MongoDB

Let's first try the service manually. We will use the SoapUI testing tool. After importing the WSDL, test requests are automatically created. There are two versions of the "SOAP binding" imported from the WSDL. We will use the newer one, SOAP 1.2. We just need to substitute the input number in the place of a question mark and we can invoke the web service:

SoapUI

There are plenty of tools for stress testing, read RapidAPI, paw, SoapUI, Postman, rest-assured, JMeter and so on! I'm sure they are amazing, however that's all big and heavy, slow, sometimes paid tools!

SoapUI: https://www.soapui.org/

SoapUI from SmartBear is a popular tool that gives you a great graphical UI for navigating through a WSDL. Popping open any operation gives you a sample request that you can fill in and execute from within their app:

I found SoapUI when I had to develop some SOAP services, but these days it also does REST etc just fine.

For someone like me who just does this occasionally I found it rather useful.

Eclipse IDE (IntelliJ when I have to depending on the team) (oh and I use the Eclipse package download site, not the installer) Bash shell (WSL on Windows) Gnu CLI commands Dbeaver (although I tend to use the version in the repos) MySQL Workbench (although I tend to use the version in the repos) Meld (like it better than any other comparison tool for ad hoc visual file compares) Apache JMeter (performance testing) (I tend to download and run manually instead of the one in the repos) GIMP Wireshark (great for figuring out why someone's fancy REST client isn't passing JSON correctly) SoapUI (or Postman depending on the team, I prefer SoapUI - which does REST)

MongoDB

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.

MongoDB

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.
