Masterclass | Mastering Node.js Backends

Have you ever struggled with designing and structuring your Node.js applications?
Building applications that are well-organized, testable and extendable, while also remaining simple, is not always easy.
In this live event, Matteo Collina, Co-Founder and CTO of Platformatic, will show you how he builds Node.js applications with Platformatic and Fastify, from scratch. You’ll learn how he approaches application design, and the philosophies that he applies to create modular, maintainable and effective applications.

Thank you Matteo

[@creightonchingarande7542]

I love this guy

[@ChadRStewart]

Thanks so much for the video Matteo! Learned a lot watching this.
Wanted to ask a question. You mentioned that it is preferable to break your app into modules because when using MVC, you can have a massive amount of models. I was wondering, why not break your app into modules but also use MVC in the module with the smaller scope?

[@platformatic]

The use of models can be problematic too because they hold too many responsibilities. You can take a look at czcams.com/video/atABji4xqiI/video.html, where Matteo goes deep on the topic.

[@tusharbarate148]

Is it possible to use under pressure in express framework?

[@platformatic]

Something similar is available with www.npmjs.com/package/overload-protection. It’s not as feature-rich as under-pressure.

[@utubetvux5170]

$lookup is supported native by MongoDB driver. Mongoose populate is just a wrapper of it I guess.

[@ericsiddiq7634]

Excellent.

[@SimpleCookiee]

May I also suggest a video ToC so people can fastforward to relevant sections?
