If you are working with NoSQL databases and use the Mongoose package as an ODM to execute the queries on the database. This article is for you. Why caching? Caching is essential in optimizing performance, improving scalability, and enhancing the user experience of modern applications. It can significantly reduce the load on backend resources such as databases, or APIs. By serving cached data instead of executing resource-intensive operations. How can we apply caching with Mongoose? mongoose object imported from the mongoose package has a powerful other object called Query. We can add to its prototype any customized method. We will…

The Challenge of Building Web Applications with Node.js Frameworks

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, node, software, typescript, webdev

In the world of Node.js development, there's no shortage of frameworks available for building web applications. From lightweight frameworks like Koa to full-fledged solutions like Express and NestJS, each offers its own benefits. But as a senior developer working on large-scale production applications, I've come across several limitations that persist across these tools: Boilerplate Code: Even with minimal frameworks, developers still spend too much time setting up basic structure and repeating common patterns. Scaling Complexity: Scaling applications often means piecing together various plugins, libraries, and middlewares, which results in fragmented solutions. Performance Bottlenecks: Many frameworks handle small-to-medium-sized applications well, but…

‘next build’ not showing uploaded file : Next.js Image

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, nextjs, node, programming, software, webdev

Rendering Newly Uploaded Files in Next.js on 'next build'In a typical Next.js application, one of the common issues developers face is rendering newly uploaded files after running next build. The default behavior of Next.js during build time is that it bundles static assets and expects them to be available at that point. However, newly uploaded files post-build, such as user-uploaded images, are not automatically detected or rendered. This blog will walk you through a solution using a custom Node.js server to dynamically serve newly uploaded files without having to rebuild the Next.js app every time a new file is added.…

High performance Node.js static file serving — using Rust

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbackenddevelopment, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, node, software, typescript

A few months ago we released Encore.ts — an Open Source backend framework for TypeScript / Node.js. Since there are already many frameworks out there, we want to share some of the outlier design decisions we've made and how they lead to improved performance and developer experience. Serving static files in Node.js, using Rust for high performance Encore.ts comes with built-in support for serving static assets (such as images, HTML and CSS files, and JavaScript files). This is useful when you want to serve a static website or a single-page application (SPA) that has been pre-compiled into static files. When…

How to mitigate security issues in GenAI code and LLM integrations

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, codesecurity, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, node, software

GitHub Copilot and other AI coding tools have transformed how we write code and promise a leap in developer productivity. But they also introduce new security risks. If your codebase has existing security issues, AI-generated code can replicate and amplify these vulnerabilities. Research from Stanford University has shown that developers using AI coding tools write significantly less secure code, and this logically increases the likelihood of such developers producing insecure applications. In this article, I’ll share the perspective of a security-minded software developer and examine how AI-generated code, like that from large language models (LLMs), can lead to security flaws.…
