In the series of the blog post, I am going to walk through step by step process of building a Simple Notes App using React, TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL , and MongoDB. During the process of our development, we are going to use some useful npm packages like Express, Apollo-Server, Typegoose, Mongoose, TypeGraphQL , and Bootstrap.

Here is the Github Source Code to run the application.

Dev Environment Setup

We are going to set up our initial codebase and folder structure to get started. In this tutorial, I am going to use the Windows environment. The command structure is mostly the same and can be easily replicated to macOS.

MongoDB Best Practices: Schema Design and Indexing

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

MongoDB’s flexible documents are powerful-but schema design still matters for performance and maintainability.

Embedding vs Referencing

Embed when data is read together and has a one-to-few relationship (user preferences inside a user doc). Reference when data grows unbounded or is shared (comments on posts).

Indexing

db.orders.createIndex({ customerId: 1, createdAt: -1 });

Compound indexes support queries that filter and sort on the same fields. Use .explain() to verify index usage.
