starchart VS MySQL

As per issue 105 and PR 174, we have a docker container that will act as a local IDP with a few users it recognizes that it will return SAML response claims for.

The past week, I worked on setting up basic user dashboard pages and routes for starchart. These routes involved pages for management, creation, and help for domains and certificates. The ideas was to setup a basic template, such as a heading, and the routes so these could be easily updated once the designs were finished.

I worked on domains table and created a PR with that, which is currently in review.

This week, my main focus is to work on seeding the database for Starchart project. (see PR) I thought it would be more complicated, but it's actually just writing query with Prisma to insert rows of data into database tables, and there's a bit of script setup.

My first task with porting over middleware used by Satellite and adding it to Remix's server. Remix's Blues Stack, by default, uses Morgan, but we wanted to use Pino instead. However, Pino seems to cause a problem, so David has to switch to using Winston.

Main work

The past week I worked on setting up Playwright, and Chakra UI with starchart. Chakra UI is needed so that their components could be used to build the web pages, and Playwright is to be used for end-to-end testing.

The one PR I created this week was initialisation of Chakra UI theme. For now it only includes shades of our "brand" color, which is well-known Seneca's red color. This color is now applied as a default one for all UI components such as Button, Checkbox etc. After several iterations of code reviews and updates from my side the PR was merged.

This week, I focus on creating an initial schema for the project through using Prisma. This is for a MySQL database, and the PR for the initial schema is here.

MySQL

SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are relational databases. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, and they use SQL for querying and managing data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that stores, organizes, and accesses data in a structured format. The prerequisites section discussed Connecting your Boomi Atom runtime and MySQL on Docker, and this section will build on that knowledge.

Node.js, MySQL and PostgreSQL servers installed on your machine

I've used MySQL for years. But recently, I found myself working PostgreSQL and simple things like dumping and restoring a database are different enough that I decided to document the process. It's straightforward enough once I knew how.

MySQL: A widely-used open-source SQL database, MySQL is efficient for OLTP with its fast data processing and robustness. It is a go-to choice for web-based applications, e-commerce, and online transaction systems.

Our orders microservice will have its own set of teachnologies just like we earlier plotted that is mysql database and sequelize orm. MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is widely used for building web applications and managing data. It is a popular choice for many developers and organizations due to its performance, reliability, and ease of use. Sequelize is a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js. It provides a way to interact with relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MSSQL using JavaScript or TypeScript. It simplifies database operations by allowing developers to use JavaScript objects to represent database tables and records, instead of writing raw SQL queries. In this microservice, we will use it to query our MySQL database.

Data Stores (Amazon RDS, MySQL, PostgreSQL)

Total.js, a powerful web framework for Node.js, simplifies web application development. Integrating databases like MySQL is crucial for building dynamic applications. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to seamlessly combine MySQL with __ Total.js__ using QueryBuilderMySQL. This intuitive tool streamlines database interactions, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced developers.
