I’d like to mention a useful NodeJS framework for working with data on the server-side, it’s called DeriveJS – it’s an Object Data Mapper framework for MongoDB that’s based around Javascript proxies: it lets you define data models, and then create new objects and manipulate them the same way as you do with native JS objects while taking care of all data-persistence transparently in the background for you (so `let dataObject = new DataObject(‘some index value’)` automatically saves a new DataObject into a Mongo collection (in addition to saving the instance to memory as usual), and dataObject.someprop = newvalue, automatically updates `someprop` on the DB.
It also uses bulk operations for all database operations – so the performance is pretty good as it avoids unnecessary and redundant calls and requests to the database process/server.
