1. Introduction to REST API: The Backbone of Web Services
In the world of JavaScript, asynchronous operations are crucial for building fast and responsive applications. Here’s why:
  1. 1.1 What is REST?
    REST (Representational State Transfer) is an architectural style for building web services that rely on standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to interact with resources. It treats data as entities (e.g., users, products) identified by URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) and returns representation in formats like JSON and XML.
  2. 1.2 Core Principles
    • Statelessness: No client context is stored on the server between requests.
    • Resource-Based: Data is accessed via URIs (e.g., /users/123)
    • HTTP Methods: Use GET (read), POST (create), PUT/PATCH (update), and DELETE (remove).
    • Efficient I/O tasks: Web development often involves tasks like fetching data from a server. AsynchrRepresentations: Data is returned in formats like JSON (e.g., { "id": 1, "name": "Alice" }).onous operations allow this data fetching to happen without freezing the rest of your application.
  3. 1.3 Examples: REST in Action
    A blog API might have endpoints like:
    • GET /posts: Fetch all blog posts.
    • GET /posts/1: Fetch the post with ID 1.
    • POST /posts: Create a new post.
    Response for GET /posts/1:
    {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "REST Basics",
      "author": "Alice",
      "content": "A deep dive into REST principles."
    }
  4. 1.4 Strengths of REST
    • Simplicity: Users are familiar with HTTP standards.
    • Scalability: Stateless design allows horizontal scaling.
    • Broad Adoption: Supported by all major frameworks (e.g. Express.js, Django REST)
  5. 1.5 Limitation of REST
    • Over-fetching: Fetching /users/123returns all user fields, even if the client only needsname and email .
    • Under-fetching: To get a user’s posts, a separate call to /users/123/postsis required.
    • Versioning: Maintaining backward compatibility often requires /v1, /v2 endpoints.
2. Why GraphQL? Addressing REST’s Shortcomings
  1. 2.1 What is GraphQL?
    GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs developed by Facebook in 2015. It allows clients to request exactly the data they need in a single request.
    Key Features:
    • Statelessness: No clienSingle Endpoint: No need to manage multiple URIs.t context is stored on the server between requests.
    • Strong Typing: Schemas define types, fields, and relationships (e.g., User, Post).
    • Declarative Queries: Clients specify the shape of the response.
  2. 2.2 Key Advantages Over REST
    No Over/Under-Fetching:
    query GetUser {
      user(id: "123") {
        name
        email
      }
    }
    Returns only name and email.
    query GetUserWithPosts {
      user(id: "123") {
        name
        posts {
          title
          comments(limit: 3) {
            text
          }
        }
      }
    }
    No Versioning: Evolve APIs by adding fields and deprecating old ones.
  3. 2.3 Example: REST vs. GraphQL
    To fetch a user’s name and their last 3 posts:
    REST:
    GET /users/123 → Fetch user data.
    GET /users/123/posts?limit=3 → Fetch posts.
    query {
      user(id: "123") {
        name
        posts(limit: 3) {
          title
        }
      }
    }
    One request, no wasted data.
  4. 1.4 Strengths of REST
    • Simplicity: Users are familiar with HTTP standards.
    • Scalability: Stateless design allows horizontal scaling.
    • Broad Adoption: Supported by all major frameworks (e.g. Express.js, Django REST)
  5. 1.5 Limitation of REST
    • Over-fetching: Fetching /users/123returns all user fields, even if the client only needsname and email .
    • Under-fetching: To get a user’s posts, a separate call to /users/123/postsis required.
    • Versioning: Maintaining backward compatibility often requires /v1, /v2 endpoints.
  1. Non-blocking: JavaScript runs on a single thread, meaning it can only handle one task at a time. Without asynchronous operations, long-running tasks (like waiting for your coffee) would block everything else. Async operations let JavaScript handle other tasks while waiting for things like network requests or timers.
  2. Improved performance: Instead of waiting for tasks like fetching data or loading resources, the app can continue responding to user actions, making it feel faster and smoother.
  3. Concurrency: Async tasks can run in parallel. For example, while you’re waiting for coffee, you can read a book, chat with friends, or check your email.
  4. Efficient I/O tasks: Web development often involves tasks like fetching data from a server. Asynchronous operations allow this data fetching to happen without freezing the rest of your application.
In the early days of JavaScript, we used callbacks for handling asynchronous tasks. A callback is just a function that gets passed into another function, which gets called once the task is complete.
Let’s go back to our coffee shop example:
3. When to Switch to GraphQL
  1. 3.1 Ideal Use Cases
    • Complex Data Models: Apps with deeply nested relationships (e.g., social networks).
    • Multiple Clients: Web, mobile, and IoT devices need different data shapes.
    • Real-Time Features: Live updates via subscriptions (e.g., chat apps, dashboards).
    • Microservices Aggregation: Combine data from multiple APIs into one GraphQL layer.
  2. 3.2 When to Stick with REST
    • Simple CRUD Apps: Basic read/write operations (e.g., a to-do list).
    • Limited Resources: GraphQL requires upfront schema design and tooling.
    • Third-Party APIs: Many services (e.g., Stripe, Twilio) only offer REST.
4. Designing a GraphQL Schema
  1. 4.1 Schema-First Development
    - Define your schema using GraphQL Schema Definition Language (SDL):
    type User {
      id: ID!
      name: String!
      email: String!
      posts: [Post!]!  # One-to-many relationship
    }
    
    type Post {
      id: ID!
      title: String!
      content: String!
      author: User!     # Back-reference to User
    }
    
    type Query {
      user(id: ID!): User
      post(id: ID!): Post
    }
    4.2 Best Practices
    - Avoid Deep Nesting:
    # Avoid
    user(id: "123") {
      posts {
        comments {
          author {
            posts { ... }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    This can lead to performance bottlenecks.
    Use Pagination:
    type PostConnection {
      edges: [PostEdge!]!
      pageInfo: PageInfo!
    }
    
    query GetPosts {
      posts(first: 10, after: "cursor") {
        edges { node { title } }
        pageInfo { endCursor, hasNextPage }
      }
    }
    Deprecate Fields:
    type User {
      age: Int @deprecated(reason: "Use birthdate instead.")
      birthdate: String!
    }
    This can lead to performance bottlenecks.
    1. 4.3 Common Pitfalls
      • Overfetching in Resolvers: Ensure resolvers fetch only necessary data.
      • Ignoring Caching: Use DataLoader to batch and cache database calls.
    2. 3.2 When to Stick with REST
      • Simple CRUD Apps: Basic read/write operations (e.g., a to-do list).
      • Limited Resources: GraphQL requires upfront schema design and tooling.
      • Third-Party APIs: Many services (e.g., Stripe, Twilio) only offer REST.
5. Leveraging Apollo and Relay
  1. 5.1 Apollo Client
    • Caching: Normalized cache deduplicates data (e.g., user 123 is stored once)
    • React Hooks:
      const { data, loading } = useQuery(GET_USER, { variables: { id: "123" } });
      const [createPost] = useMutation(CREATE_POST);
    • Local State:
      const GET_LOCAL_STATE = gql`
        query GetTheme {
          theme @client  # Fetch from Apollo Cache
        }
      `;
  1. 5.2 Relay
    • Fragment: Colocate data requirements with components:
      const UserComponent = ({ user }) => {
        const data = useFragment(
          graphql`
            fragment UserComponent_user on User {
              name
              avatar
            }
          `,
          user
        );
        return <div>{data.name}</div>;
      };
    • Automatic Pagination:
      const UserComponent = ({ user }) => {
        const data = useFragment(
          graphql`
            fragment UserComponent_user on User {
              name
              avatar
            }
          `,
          user
        );
        return <div>{data.name}</div>;
      };
  1. 5.3 Apollo vs. Relay
6. Performance and Security
  1. 6.1 Optimizing GraphQL
    • Query Depth Limiting: Block queries like user { posts { comments { ... } } } beyond depth 5.
    • DataLoader: Block SQL queries to avoid N + 1 issues.
      const { data, loading } = useQuery(GET_USER, { variables: { id: "123" } });
      const [createPost] = useMutation(CREATE_POST);
    • Local State:
      const userLoader = new DataLoader(async (ids) => {
        const users = await db.users.find({ id: { $in: ids } });
        return ids.map(id => users.find(u => u.id === id));
      });
      
      // Resolver
      User: {
        posts: (user) => postLoader.load(user.id),
      }
    • Persisted Queries: Store approved queries on the server to block malicious requests.
  1. 6.2 Security Best Practices
    • Complexity Analysis: Use libraries like graphql-cost-analysis to limit expensive queries.
    • Field-Level Authorization:
      const resolvers = {
        User: {
          email: (user, args, context) => {
            if (context.role !== "admin") return null;
            return user.email;
          }
        }
      };
    • Local State:
      const userLoader = new DataLoader(async (ids) => {
        const users = await db.users.find({ id: { $in: ids } });
        return ids.map(id => users.find(u => u.id === id));
      });
      
      // Resolver
      User: {
        posts: (user) => postLoader.load(user.id),
      }
7. Migration Strategies
  1. 7.1 Hybrid Approach
    Wrap with exiting REST APIs with GraphQL resolvers using Apollo Server:
    const resolvers = {
      Query: {
        user: async (_, { id }) => {
          const res = await fetch(`https://legacy-api.com/users/${id}`);
          return res.json();
        }
      }
    };
  2. 7.2 Backend for Frontend (BFF)
    Use GraphQL to aggregate data from multiple REST microservices:
    type Query {
      userWithOrders(id: ID!) {
        user: User               # From User Service
        orders: [Order!]!        # From Order Service
      }
    }
  3. 7.3 Incremental Adoption
    Start with read-only queries, then add mutations. Migrate high-impact endpoints first (e.g., user profile page).
8. Real-World Success Stories
  1. 8.1 GitHub
    • Migrated to GraphQL to handle 100+ million repositories.
    • Reduced over-fetching by letting clients request only needed data (e.g., pull requests, issues).
  2. 8.2 Shopify
    • Cut mobile app payload sizes by 50% with GraphQl.
    • Enabled merchants to customize admin panels by querying specific metrics.
  3. 8.3 Netflix
    • Uses GraphQL to unify 500+ microservices for studio workflows.
    • Simplified data fetching for complex UIs (e.g., video metadata editors).
9. The Future of GraphQL
  1. 9.1 GraphQL Federation
    Combines schemas from multiple teams into a single APIs (Apollo Federation):
    # Users Service
    type User @key(fields: "id") {
      id: ID!
      name: String!
    }
    
    # Posts Service
    type Post @key(fields: "id") {
      id: ID!
      author: User @provides(fields: "name")
    }
  2. 9.2 TypeScript Integration
    Generate TypeScript types from schemas using graphql-codegen:
    # codegen.yml
    generates:
      src/types.ts:
        plugins:
          - typescript
          - typescript-resolvers
  3. 9.3 Edge Caching
    CDNs like Fastly now support caching GraphQL responses at the edge for low-latency global apps.
Conclusion
  1. GraphQL isn’t a replacement for REST but a powerful alternative for complex, data-driven applications. By adopting schema-first design, leveraging tools like Apollo and Relay, and prioritizing performance/security, teams can build flexible, future-proof APIs. Start small, iterate, and embrace the declarative future of data fetching.

John, a business owner, sat across from Sarah, a digital marketing strategist, sipping his coffee. “Sarah, I’m torn between using Webflow and going the traditional web development route. What do you think?”
  1. Sarah smiled. “Great question, John. It really depends on your needs. Traditional web development gives you complete control, but it requires hiring developers, managing code, and constant maintenance. Webflow, on the other hand, is a no-code platform that lets you build visually without sacrificing flexibility.
    John raised an eyebrow. “But wouldn’t traditional coding give me more customization?
    Sarah nodded. “Yes, but at a cost. Custom development takes time and resources. You’ll need a developer to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from scratch, which could take months. Webflow lets you customize your site visually while still maintaining clean, semantic code. It’s like getting the best of both worlds.
    John leaned back in his chair. “Okay, but what about cost? Web development isn’t cheap, and I don’t want to keep pouring money into it.
    “That’s another advantage of Webflow,” Sarah said. “With traditional development, you have upfront costs for design and development, plus ongoing expenses for maintenance. Webflow has an all-in-one pricing model, covering hosting, security, and content updates, so you don’t need a dedicated team for maintenance.
    John took a sip of his coffee, considering her words. “How about SEO? I need my website to rank well.
    Sarah nodded enthusiastically. “Webflow is built with SEO in mind. It allows you to customize metadata, generate sitemaps automatically, and ensures fast-loading pages. Traditional web development can offer the same, but it often requires additional coding and plugins. Webflow simplifies the process.
    And security? I’ve heard horror stories about website breaches,” John asked.
    “That’s a big deal,” Sarah agreed. “Traditional websites require constant security updates and monitoring. With Webflow, security is handled for you - automatic SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and cloud hosting ensure your site stays safe without extra effort.
    John tapped his fingers on the table. “This sounds like a great option for businesses that need to move fast.
    “Exactly,” Sarah said. “Webflow gives you the agility to launch quickly, scale easily, and keep costs low. If you need something highly complex, traditional development might be better. But for most businesses, Webflow is a smarter, more efficient choice.
    John nodded, smiling. “Alright, I’m sold. Let’s build with Webflow.

It’s almost impossible these days to not have heard of cryptocurrency. Whether you’re a smartphone user or even if you watch TV, you’ve probably seen something about Bitcoin, Ethereum, or even newer coins. But is cryptocurrency just digital money, or is there more beneath the surface? Many people know crypto as a form of digital currency, but its origins and potential applications go far beyond this. In this post, we’ll explore the evolution of cryptocurrency, its initial purpose, and how blockchain technology is transforming various industries. We’ll also take a deep dive into Solana, one of the trending cryptocurrencies, and examine its broader use cases, which contribute to its popularity and its potential to be a strong competitor to giants like Ethereum.
The Birth of Cryptocurrency: A New Form of Money
Cryptocurrency began in 2008 with the release of Bitcoin by an anonymous person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. The primary purpose was to create a decentralized form of money that wouldn’t rely on traditional financial institutions like banks. Bitcoin’s creation was rooted in the desire for a financial system that could operate independently of governments and intermediaries. Since then, the idea of decentralized money has expanded beyond Bitcoin to include thousands of cryptocurrencies, each with unique features and purposes. However, while most people think of these assets as “digital money,” the underlying blockchain technology that supports them has grown into something much larger.
  1. Beyond Currency: The Use Cases of Blockchain Technology
    While Bitcoin and Ethereum are often used as digital assets for investment or payments, blockchain technology can serve many other functions. Here are a few noteworthy examples:
    1. Smart Contracts (Ethereum & Solana): Ethereum introduced smart contracts, self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. This innovation allows for a range of decentralized applications (dApps) and is used in finance (DeFi), gaming, and even supply chain management. Solana also supports smart contracts and has gained popularity due to its faster transaction speed and lower costs.
    2. NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens): NFTs have taken the digital art world by storm, but they’re also being used to represent ownership in real-world assets, from real estate to intellectual property. While Ethereum has been the leader in NFTs, Solana is also becoming a strong competitor due to its scalability and low fees.
    3. Decentralized Finance (DeFi): DeFi platforms remove traditional financial intermediaries, offering services like lending, borrowing, and trading. Ethereum has a large presence here, but Solana is gaining traction due to its high throughput, enabling faster transactions with minimal fees.
    4. Gaming: Blockchain-based games are utilizing NFTs and smart contracts to create unique in-game assets that players can buy, sell, or trade. Solana’s speed is attractive to the gaming industry, enabling real-time transactions and scalable infrastructure.
    5. Supply Chain and Logistics: Blockchain provides transparency and traceability for products as they move through the supply chain. Solana’s efficiency makes it suitable for real-time tracking, while other platforms like VeChain also offer blockchain solutions for logistics and supply chain management.
    Solana: A High-Performance Blockchain
    Solana has emerged as a powerful alternative to Ethereum, offering several advantages that have contributed to its growing popularity and high potential for future growth. Let’s dive into why Solana has become a trend and what makes it stand out:
    At NIMI, we work as an extension of your team, providing:
    • High Speed & Scalability: Solana is known for its speed, processing thousands of transactions per second (TPS) compared to Ethereum’s processing capabilities. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from finance to gaming, without the congestion that often plagues some blockchains.
    • Low Transaction Fees: Unlike Ethereum, where gas fees can skyrocket during periods of high network activity, Solana boasts incredibly low transaction fees. This is a huge draw for developers and businesses looking to build dApps without worrying about prohibitive costs.
    • Decentralized Applications (dApps): Just like Ethereum, Solana supports smart contracts, making it a viable platform for dApps. Its ability to scale efficiently while maintaining low costs makes it attractive to developers building everything from DeFi protocols to games.
    • NFTs on Solana: While Ethereum has been the dominant player in the NFT market, Solana is quickly catching up due to its speed and low fees. Projects like Solanart and Magic Eden have become popular NFT marketplaces on Solana, attracting creators and collectors looking for a more efficient platform. It is important to note that Solana has had some network stability issues in the past.
    Solana vs. Ethereum: Competing Platforms
    The question of whether Solana could replace Ethereum is a hot topic among blockchain enthusiasts. Both platforms have their strengths. Solana offers several key advantages that give it the potential to be a strong competitor to Ethereum in certain areas:
    • Speed: Solana’s Proof of History (PoH) mechanism, which works in conjunction with Proof of Stake (PoS), contributes to its ability to process transactions faster than Ethereum’s Proof of Work (PoW) and even Ethereum’s newer Proof of Stake (PoS) model. This speed makes Solana a strong contender in industries where real-time transactions are critical.
    • Lower Fees: Ethereum’s high gas fees, especially during periods of network congestion, make it less attractive for small transactions or micro-payments. Solana’s low transaction fees make it a better choice for developers and businesses aiming to build scalable solutions.
    • Energy Efficiency: With Ethereum transitioning to Proof of Stake (PoS), it aims to become more energy-efficient. Solana’s PoH and PoS combination is also designed for energy efficiency.
    However, Ethereum has a first-mover advantage and a massive ecosystem of developers, dApps, and established protocols. Solana still faces challenges, such as network stability and growing its developer community, but its potential to be a major player in the space is significant.
    Other Cryptos with Promising Use Cases Beyond Currency
    While Solana is a standout, other cryptocurrencies also have exciting use cases:
    • Polkadot: Designed for interoperability, Polkadot allows different blockchains to work together, creating a multi-chain ecosystem. It’s poised to revolutionize cross-chain communication and collaboration.
    • Chainlink: A decentralized oracle network, Chainlink provides real-world data to smart contracts on the blockchain. It enables the creation of more advanced dApps by allowing them to interact with external data sources.
    • Cardano: Known for its research-driven approach, Cardano is focused on creating a scalable and sustainable blockchain. It is being used for decentralized finance, digital identity, and supply chain management, particularly in developing countries.
    Conclusion: The Expanding Potential of Blockchain
    Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology behind them have evolved far beyond their initial purpose of digital money. Platforms like Solana, with their impressive speed, low fees, and scalability, are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the decentralized world. While Ethereum remains a leader, Solana’s potential to disrupt industries like finance, gaming, and NFTs is significant. As blockchain technology continues to grow, we can expect even more innovative use cases to emerge, transforming industries and shaping the future of technology.
    Disclaimer: Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets. Investing in them carries significant risk. Always conduct thorough research and consider your own financial situation before investing.

Bitcoin’s creation was rooted in the desire for a financial system that could operate independently of governments and intermediaries. Since then, the idea of decentralized money has expanded beyond Bitcoin to include thousands of cryptocurrencies, each with unique features and purposes. However, while most people think of these assets as “digital money,” the underlying blockchain technology that supports them has grown into something much larger.

          Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important in a variety of applications, from mapping and navigation to location-based services and geospatial analytics. MongoDB, with its support for geospatial indexes and queries, provides an excellent platform for storing and querying geographical data. In this article, we’ll dive into MongoDB’s geospatial features and show how you can leverage them with Node.js.

          Setting Up the Data

          Before we explore the queries, we need to populate our MongoDB collection with geospatial data. I have uploaded the necessary JSON files: sl-places.json and sl-areas.json to my GitHub repository. These files contain geographical data for various places and areas in Sri Lanka, respectively.

          First, let’s write a seeder script to load this data into MongoDB. You can find the full code in My repository:

          const fs = require("fs");
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const initialSLPlaces = JSON.parse(
              fs.readFileSync("sl-places.json", "utf-8")
            );
            const initialSLAreas = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("sl-areas.json", "utf-8"));
            
            const db = await getDB();
            
            // Delete existing records to avoid duplication
            await db.collection("sl-places").deleteMany();
            
            // Insert new data into the collection
            await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .insertMany([...initialSLPlaces, ...initialSLAreas]);
            
            // Create a 2dsphere index to enable efficient geospatial queries
            await db.collection("sl-places").createIndex({ location: "2dsphere" });
            
            // Close the database connection
            closeDB();
          })();

          Explanation:

          • getDB: Connects to the MongoDB database.
          • deleteMany: Clears the collection before inserting new data to prevent duplicates.
          • insertMany: Inserts the data from sl-places.json and sl-areas.json into the sl-places collection.
          • createIndex({ location: “2dsphere” }): Creates a 2dsphere index on the location field to enable efficient geospatial queries.

          Why Is Creating an Index Important?

          Indexes are critical for improving the performance of database queries, especially when dealing with large datasets. In the context of geospatial data, MongoDB uses 2dsphere indexes to support queries that deal with spherical geometry, such as finding points within a certain distance from a location or finding points within a polygon.

          Without a 2dsphere index on the location field, geospatial queries would be much slower, as MongoDB would need to scan every document in the collection to perform the query. By creating a 2dsphere index, MongoDB can efficiently query geospatial data by using the index to quickly find relevant documents based on their geographic location.

          1. Searching Places Near a Location

          One of the most common geospatial queries is finding places that are near a specific location. In MongoDB, we can use the $near operator to perform this search. The following Node.js code demonstrates how to search for places within 500 meters of Kirinda Beach (coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155]).

          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            // Search near Kirinda Beach within 500m
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $near: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Point",
                      coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155], // Coordinates for Kirinda Beach
                    },
                    $maxDistance: 500, // Max distance in meters
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display the found places
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $near: The $near operator finds documents within a specified distance from a point. In this case, we are searching for places within 500 meters of the given coordinates.
          • $geometry: Defines the point around which we are searching.
          • $maxDistance: Limits the search to a maximum distance, in this case, 500 meters.

          Use Case:

          This query is ideal for applications that need to find nearby places, such as a location-based service for tourists, or a navigation app that shows nearby points of interest.

          2. Searching for Places Within a Polygon

          In addition to searching near a location, MongoDB allows you to search for places within a specific geographic area defined by a polygon. This can be useful for querying places that lie within a predefined region or boundary.

          The following example demonstrates how to search for places within a rectangular polygon defined by four corners:

          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $geoWithin: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Polygon",
                      coordinates: [
                        [
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Bottom-left corner
                          [81.6, 6.2], // Bottom-right corner
                          [81.6, 6.5], // Top-right corner
                          [81.2, 6.5], // Top-left corner
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Closing the polygon
                        ],
                      ],
                    },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display places within the polygon
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $geoWithin: The $geoWithin operator is used to find documents within a specified geometry, which can be a polygon, circle, or other shapes.
          • $geometry: Defines the geometry (in this case, a polygon) to use for the search. The coordinates are provided in an array of longitude and latitude points that define the boundaries of the polygon.

          Use Case:

          This query is particularly useful for applications that need to filter results within a geographical region, such as finding all points of interest within a park, city, or administrative region.

          3. Searching for Areas that Intersect with a Point

          Another geospatial operator in MongoDB is $geoIntersects, which allows you to search for areas that intersect with a specific point. This is useful for cases where you need to find out which regions or zones contain a given location.

          Below is an example of how to search for areas that intersect with the point [81.7302, 7.2801]:

          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB("playground");
          
            const area = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                area: {
                  $geoIntersects: {
                    $geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [81.7302, 7.2801] },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(area); // Display areas that intersect with the point
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $geoIntersects: The $geoIntersects operator finds documents whose geometry intersects with the specified geometry.
          • $geometry: Defines the geometry for the intersection query. In this case, we are searching for areas that intersect with a specific point.

          Use Case:

          This query can be used to determine which administrative regions or zoning areas intersect with a given point, such as determining which district a particular location belongs to.

          Conclusion

          MongoDB’s geospatial capabilities make it an excellent choice for applications that deal with location-based data. By using the 2dsphere index and geospatial operators like $near, $geoWithin, and $geoIntersects, developers can build powerful, location-aware applications.

          In this article, we’ve demonstrated how to perform basic geospatial queries with MongoDB and Node.js. We also covered the importance of creating a 2dsphere index, which is crucial for ensuring fast and efficient geospatial queries on large datasets.

          By integrating MongoDB’s geospatial queries into your application, you can create more intelligent, context-aware experiences for your users.

          Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important in a variety of applications, from mapping and navigation to location-based services and geospatial analytics. MongoDB, with its support for geospatial indexes and queries, provides an excellent platform for storing and querying geographical data. In this article, we’ll dive into MongoDB’s geospatial features and show how you can leverage them with Node.js.

          Setting Up the Data

          Before we explore the queries, we need to populate our MongoDB collection with geospatial data. I have uploaded the necessary JSON files: sl-places.json and sl-areas.json to my GitHub repository. These files contain geographical data for various places and areas in Sri Lanka, respectively.

          First, let’s write a seeder script to load this data into MongoDB. You can find the full code in My repository:

          const fs = require("fs");
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const initialSLPlaces = JSON.parse(
              fs.readFileSync("sl-places.json", "utf-8")
            );
            const initialSLAreas = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("sl-areas.json", "utf-8"));
            
            const db = await getDB();
            
            // Delete existing records to avoid duplication
            await db.collection("sl-places").deleteMany();
            
            // Insert new data into the collection
            await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .insertMany([...initialSLPlaces, ...initialSLAreas]);
            
            // Create a 2dsphere index to enable efficient geospatial queries
            await db.collection("sl-places").createIndex({ location: "2dsphere" });
            
            // Close the database connection
            closeDB();
          })();

          Explanation:

          • getDB: Connects to the MongoDB database.
          • deleteMany: Clears the collection before inserting new data to prevent duplicates.
          • insertMany: Inserts the data from sl-places.json and sl-areas.json into the sl-places collection.
          • createIndex({ location: “2dsphere” }): Creates a 2dsphere index on the location field to enable efficient geospatial queries.

          Why Is Creating an Index Important?

          Indexes are critical for improving the performance of database queries, especially when dealing with large datasets. In the context of geospatial data, MongoDB uses 2dsphere indexes to support queries that deal with spherical geometry, such as finding points within a certain distance from a location or finding points within a polygon.

          Without a 2dsphere index on the location field, geospatial queries would be much slower, as MongoDB would need to scan every document in the collection to perform the query. By creating a 2dsphere index, MongoDB can efficiently query geospatial data by using the index to quickly find relevant documents based on their geographic location.

          1. Searching Places Near a Location

          One of the most common geospatial queries is finding places that are near a specific location. In MongoDB, we can use the $near operator to perform this search. The following Node.js code demonstrates how to search for places within 500 meters of Kirinda Beach (coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155]).

          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            // Search near Kirinda Beach within 500m
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $near: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Point",
                      coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155], // Coordinates for Kirinda Beach
                    },
                    $maxDistance: 500, // Max distance in meters
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display the found places
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $near: The $near operator finds documents within a specified distance from a point. In this case, we are searching for places within 500 meters of the given coordinates.
          • $geometry: Defines the point around which we are searching.
          • $maxDistance: Limits the search to a maximum distance, in this case, 500 meters.

          Use Case:

          This query is ideal for applications that need to find nearby places, such as a location-based service for tourists, or a navigation app that shows nearby points of interest.

          2. Searching for Places Within a Polygon

          In addition to searching near a location, MongoDB allows you to search for places within a specific geographic area defined by a polygon. This can be useful for querying places that lie within a predefined region or boundary.

          The following example demonstrates how to search for places within a rectangular polygon defined by four corners:

          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $geoWithin: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Polygon",
                      coordinates: [
                        [
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Bottom-left corner
                          [81.6, 6.2], // Bottom-right corner
                          [81.6, 6.5], // Top-right corner
                          [81.2, 6.5], // Top-left corner
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Closing the polygon
                        ],
                      ],
                    },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display places within the polygon
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $geoWithin: The $geoWithin operator is used to find documents within a specified geometry, which can be a polygon, circle, or other shapes.
          • $geometry: Defines the geometry (in this case, a polygon) to use for the search. The coordinates are provided in an array of longitude and latitude points that define the boundaries of the polygon.

          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB("playground");
          
            const area = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                area: {
                  $geoIntersects: {
                    $geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [81.7302, 7.2801] },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(area); // Display areas that intersect with the point
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();

          Explanation:

          • $geoIntersects: The $geoIntersects operator finds documents whose geometry intersects with the specified geometry.
          • $geometry: Defines the geometry for the intersection query. In this case, we are searching for areas that intersect with a specific point.

          As developers, we often find ourselves juggling between writing code, testing it, and finally pushing it live for users to experience. Managing these steps manually can be stressful and time-consuming. Luckily, tools like AWS and GitHub Actions take much of this burden off our shoulders, making the process smoother and more efficient. Let’s dive into how AWS streamlines developer workflows, from continuous integration (CI) to continuous delivery (CD), making our lives easier.
          Continuous Integration (CI) — Catching Bugs Early
          Imagine you’re working on a feature with your team, and everyone pushes their code to a shared repository. Now, how do we make sure that new code doesn’t break the app? This is where Continuous Integration (CI) shines. In simple terms, CI is a practice where developers frequently integrate their code into a central repository. Each time someone pushes code, automated tests and builds run to ensure nothing’s broken.
          For example, let’s say you’re using GitHub Actions as your CI tool. When you push your code, GitHub Actions kicks off a series of tests and checks to make sure your new code integrates well with the existing codebase. Within minutes, you receive feedback on whether the tests have passed or failed.
          Why is CI Important?
          Catch bugs early: Developers get immediate feedback on their changes.
          Speedy delivery: Code is automatically tested, enabling faster rollouts.
          Happier teams: No one is blocked waiting for feedback or fixing broken builds last minute.
          With CI tools like GitHub Actions or AWS CodeBuild, the code is tested almost instantly after each change, so everyone on the team can focus on writing more code rather than firefighting bugs.
          Continuous Delivery (CD) — Moving from Tested to Ready
          Once your code has passed all the tests in the CI phase, the next step is to make sure it’s ready for deployment. Continuous Delivery (CD) helps developers automate this process so that the code is always in a deployable state.
          AWS offers AWS CodePipeline, which automates the entire process — from pulling in code from a source repository, running it through build and test stages, and finally deploying it to production. Whether you’re making a small fix or rolling out a big feature, the pipeline ensures the process is smooth, fast, and reliable.
          Stages in AWS CodePipeline
          Here’s how AWS CodePipeline works:
          • Source: The pipeline starts when you push new code to a repository like GitHub, CodeCommit, or S3.
          • Build: Code is compiled, and tests are run. This is where tools like AWS CodeBuild come in to do the heavy lifting of building the code and running tests.
          • Deploy: Once the code is tested and verified, it’s deployed to your desired environment, be it a staging or production environment.
          Each stage in the pipeline communicates seamlessly, ensuring that the tested and built code moves swiftly between stages, thanks to AWS’s powerful automation.
          Artifacts: Building Blocks of Your Pipeline
          During the build and deployment process, various artifacts (like compiled code, test results, or configuration files) are created. These artifacts are essential outputs at different stages of your CI/CD pipeline. AWS stores them in S3 buckets, allowing the next stage in the pipeline to use them.
          Imagine this as passing a baton in a relay race; each stage builds upon the previous one, passing critical information (artifacts) to the next stage for a flawless transition.
          Troubleshooting with AWS CodePipeline
          If anything goes wrong, AWS provides excellent tools for troubleshooting. The pipeline interface visually shows where issues arise. Logs are captured in CloudWatch, and you can even set up notifications via email or Slack. If you face permission issues, double-checking the IAM roles can help resolve most hiccups.
          AWS CodeBuild — Your Build Engine
          Let’s dive a bit deeper into AWS CodeBuild. Think of it as your automated builder. It compiles your source code, runs tests, and produces deployable packages. What’s cool is that it’s fully managed — you just tell it what to do via a simple buildspec.yml file, and it takes care of the rest.
          What’s in a BuildSpec?
          A buildspec.yml file is essentially a script that defines what AWS CodeBuild should do at each phase. For example, you can tell it to:
          • Install: any dependencies.
            Pre_build: Prepare the environment before the actual build.
            Build: Compile the code and run tests.
            Post_build: Final steps like zipping the output or creating packages.
          A buildspec.yml file is essentially a script that defines what AWS CodeBuild should do at each phase. For example, you can tell it to:
          Wrapping It Up: From Code to Cloud
          In the world of modern software development, speed, reliability, and automation are key. By integrating tools like AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, and GitHub Actions, developers can easily take their code from the first commit all the way to a production-ready deployment.
          These AWS services take the repetitive, manual work out of our hands, allowing us to focus on what we do best — building great applications. So next time you push that code to GitHub, sit back, relax, and let AWS do the heavy lifting!

          What is Machine Learning?
          In just the last five or ten years, Machine Learning has a critical way, arguably the most important way, most parts of AI are done,” said MIT Sloan professor Thomas W. Malone, the founding director of MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
          Machine Learning is not just image processing, chatbot, or Social Media suggestions. It is a powerful field that transforms industries and impacts nearly every part of our daily lives. From diagnosing diseases in healthcare to automatic tasks in finance and even predicting environmental changes, machine learning is applied in diverse areas beyond common uses like recommendation engines or digital assistants. By enabling computers to learn from data, ML opens possibilities for innovation and efficiency in areas like personalized education, smart cities, supply chain optimization, and even climate modeling.
          Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data, recognize patterns, and make decisions without being explicitly programmed with step-by-step instructions. Instead of following fixed rules, machine learning models improve over time through exposure to new information and experiences, making them adaptable to new scenarios.
          layman’s Definition of Machine Learning
          Imagine teaching a computer not by giving detailed instructions but by letting it “learn” from examples. In machine learning, computers analyze a large set of data, find patterns, and use those insights to make predictions or decisions, This means that rather than being told precisely what to do, the computer becomes capable of figuring things out on its own by learning from experience.
          Example: Email Spam Filters
          Consider how email spam filters work. Traditionally, you’d need to tell the program exactly what spam looks like. With machine learning, however, the model analyzes thousands of email samples — some labeled as spam and others as regular mail. By studying common patterns and keywords in the spam emails, the machine learns to differentiate spam from legitimate messages, Over time, as it processes more examples, the filter improves, becoming more effective at catching spam emails, even as spammers change their tactics.
          Types of Machine Learning
          Now, consider more detailed content about machine learning. Machine learning can be broadly categorized into three main types based on how models learn from data. Let me explain them one by one.
          1. Supervised Learning
          In supervised learning, the machine is trained on a labeled dataset, meaning the input data is paired with the correct output. The model learns by finding relationships between the input and the output values, which helps it make accurate predictions on new data.
          • Spam Detection: Classifying emails as spam or not based on labeled data.
          • Medical Diagnosis: Predict diseases based on past patient data and diagnoses.
          • Stock Market Prediction: Estimating future stock prices using historical data trends.
          2. Unsupervised Learning
          Unlike supervised learning, unsupervised learning deals with unlabeled data. The model tries to find hidden patterns, relationships, or structures within the data without any predefined label.
          • Customer Segmentation: Grouping customers based on purchasing behavior.
          • Anomaly Detection: Identifying fraudulent transactions in banking systems.
          • Market Basket Analysis: Finding product purchase patterns in retail stores.
          3. Reinforcement Learning
          Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns by interacting with its environment and receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. The goal is to maximize long-term rewards by making a sequence of decisions.
          • Self-Driving Cars: Learning to navigate roads by trial and error.
          • Game Playing AI: AI systems like AlphaGo learn to play board games by competing with themselves.
          • Robotics: Training robots to optimize movement and complete tasks efficiently.
          How do Machine Learning Models Work?
          Machine learning models learn from data through an iterative process that involves understanding patterns, improving accuracy, and making predictions or decisions based on experience. The general workflow of machine learning, from data collection to deployment, mirrors the way humans learn by observing, analyzing, and adapting based on feedback. Let’s break down each step and explain how ML models learn at every stage.
          1. Data Collection
          Machine learning models rely on large amounts of data to learn effectively. The more diverse and high-quality the data, the better the model can generalize to new situations.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models analyze raw data from sources like databases, sensors, or web scraping.
          • Through preprocessing (removing inconsistencies, missing values, and duplicates), models ensure they are learning from clean and meaningful data.
          • The model observes input patterns to identify correlations and trends that might not be obvious to humans.
          Example: In fraud detection, data from user transactions (e.g. timestamps, locations, amounts) is collected. The model learns the normal spending behavior of users and identifies anomalies as potential fraud.
          3. Model Selection and Training
          Training is where the actual learning happens. The model is exposed to historical data and adjusts its internal parameters (weight and biases) to recognize patterns and relationships.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models learn by adjusting their predictions based on labeled data (in supervised learning) or by discovering patterns on their own (in unsupervised learning).
          • Algorithms like neural networks use iterative optimization techniques (e.g. gradient descent) to minimize prediction.
          • Training involves feeding the model with input-output pairs repeatedly until it learns to make accurate predictions.
          Example: In spam detection, the model is trained on a thousand labeled emails to understand what features (e.g. specific keywords, sender addresses) correlate with spam messages.
          4. Evaluation
          Once the model is trained, it needs to be evaluated to ensure it generalizes well to new, unseen data. Evaluation helps detect issues like overfitting (memorizing training data) or underfitting (failing to learn).
          How the model learns from data:
          • The model is tested on unseen data (validation/test sets) o measure accuracy, precision, recall, and other metrics.
          • Fine-tuning is done by adjusting hyperparameters (e.g. learning rate, number of layers) to enhance performance.
          • Evaluation provides feedback to improve learning by highlighting gaps in knowledge.
          Example: A self-driving car model is tested in different environments to check how well it adapts to various road conditions.
          5. Deployment and Monitoring
          Once the model is deployed in real-world scenarios it continues to learn and improve time by processing new incoming data. Continuous monitoring ensures the model remains accurate and relevant.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models update themselves using real-world data, detecting changes in patterns over time (concept drift).
          • Feedback loops allow users to correct errors, helping the model learn from mistakes.
          • Retraining is performed periodically with fresh data to avoid degradation in performance.
          Example: In a recommendation system like Netflix, the model adapts to user performance changes by analyzing new viewing habits and interactions.
          Conclusion
          Machine learning has revolutionized the way we interact with technology and solve complex problems across industries. From healthcare and finance to entertainment and beyond, ML enables systems to learn from data, adapt over time, and make intelligent decisions with minimal human interaction.
          As we’ve explored, machine learning models follow a structured learning process — starting from data collection and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment. Each step plays a crucial role in ensuring that the model is accurate, efficient, and continuously improving.
          Understanding how machine learning works is essential for anyone looking to harness its potential, whether you’re a business professional, developer, or enthusiast. With advancements in AI and data science, the possibilities of ML are expanding rapidly, opening new doors for automation, personalization, and innovation.
          Thank you for reading.
          I hope it helped.
          Working in the tech industry is like solving a series of intriguing puzzles. As engineers, we’re tasked with addressing complex problems and crafting efficient solutions. It’s a job many find fascinating, yet it demands going the extra mile to overcome challenges. While solving these problems can be immensely rewarding, it’s no secret that the journey often comes with its fair share of frustration.
          Recently, I had the privilege of being part of our company’s End-of-Year (EOY) performance evaluation cycle. This process, which involves recognizing team members’ efforts through promotions and salary adjustments, gave me a unique perspective as a manager. It was both an exciting and humbling experience to share the outcomes with my team. The majority of my colleagues were pleased with the results, while a few took the opportunity to share constructive feedback.
          This experience taught me something profound: how important it is for people to feel that their work is recognized and appreciated. Recognition isn’t just a reward — it’s a powerful motivator that inspires individuals to excel and contribute to their fullest potential.
          Why Recognition Matters
          In the fast-paced world of tech, where challenges are constant and burnout is a looming risk, appreciation becomes a critical currency. A simple acknowledgment of someone’s effort can have an extraordinary impact. It boosts morale, fosters a positive work environment, and motivates individuals to push through tough situations.
          This is especially true in remote work settings, where isolation can make it harder for team members to feel seen or valued. Surrounding yourself with colleagues who appreciate your contributions and offer support during tough times can make all the difference.
          Appreciation Beyond the Workplace
          As I reflected on the importance of recognition in the workplace, I began to wonder: If appreciation plays such a vital role in our professional lives, how does it translate to our personal lives?
          Coming from an Asian background, I grew up in a culture deeply rooted in family values. Our lives often revolve around our loved ones — parents, siblings, partners, and friends. But how often do we pause to express gratitude to the people who have sacrificed so much for us?
          Take our parents, for example. They devote their entire lives to ensuring we have everything we need. Mothers cook meals for us daily, fathers provide stability, and their sacrifices often blend into the background of our lives. When something happens regularly, it becomes normalized — so much so that we stop seeing it as extraordinary. It’s only when these actions are no longer there that we realize their true value.
          Equally important is the relationship we have with our spouse or partner. A wife or girlfriend often plays a pivotal role in our lives, offering emotional support, encouragement, and unconditional love through life’s highs and lows. Their acts of care — whether it’s listening to us vent after a tough day, celebrating our achievements, or quietly supporting our dreams — can become so seamlessly woven into our everyday existence that we may forget to acknowledge them. Yet their contributions are invaluable, and showing them appreciation isn’t just about saying “thank you” but about creating moments that make them feel seen, loved, and cherished.
          A home-cooked meal, a supportive call from a friend, a helping hand from a colleague, or the unwavering love of a wife or girlfriend may feel like part of life’s routine. These acts of care often become so seamlessly woven into our daily lives that we stop noticing their significance. But when these small acts disappear, the void they leave makes us wish we had expressed our gratitude while we could. This realization reminds us: even the most “normal” gestures of care are worth recognizing and appreciating in the moment

          A Simple Thank You Goes a Long Way
          Whether it’s in the workplace or at home, appreciation is a universal need. It’s a small gesture that can have a lasting impact. A heartfelt “thank you,” a warm hug, or even a simple acknowledgment of someone’s effort can strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging.
          As we navigate our busy lives, let’s make it a point to appreciate the people who matter most — be it our team members, parents, spouses, or friends. Let’s recognize their contributions, both big and small, and make sure they know how much they are valued.
          Final Thought:
          Appreciation is a bridge that connects us, whether in the workplace or at home. Let’s cross it more often.

          Once upon a time, in the land of React, there lived a busy worker named Render. Render’s job was simple: to build and update a magical world known as the User Interface (UI), which people all over the world relied on for their daily tasks.
          The First Call: The Initial Render
          It all began when a brand-new React Component arrived in town. When the component was first born, Render was called to bring its layout to life. This is what the villagers called the Initial Render.
          Render would carefully read the JSX spellbook that the component provided and translate it into real DOM elements — structures that made up the web page. Once Render was done, a beautiful piece of the UI was ready for users to see.
          But React’s journey didn’t stop there…
          React’s Superpower: The State
          As time passed, the magical User Interface needed to stay fresh and responsive. The villagers — who interacted with the UI — loved this. But it wasn’t always easy for Render to keep the interface updated.
          You see, the UI was driven by State — a hidden force that represented the component’s inner feelings. Whenever the state changed, the component’s appearance had to change, too. This called Render back into action.
          But there was a problem…
          Too Many Calls: Render’s Dilemma
          Imagine if Render was called every single time the state changed, no matter how small the change. It would be exhausting! Imagine this:
          • The state changes when someone types in a text box.
          • The state changes again when they click a button.
          • And again, and again, with each tiny interaction.
          Without a clever solution, Render would get overwhelmed, and the UI would start lagging, frustrating the users. The town was at risk of becoming slow and unresponsive.
          Batching to the Rescue
          Fortunately, React had a wise mentor known as Batching. Batching had the wisdom to delay calling Render until it had gathered multiple state changes together. Instead of making Render re-render the UI every time a single thing changed, Batching grouped all the changes and triggered only one render.
          This saved Render a lot of work, allowing him to refresh the UI just once, even when many changes happened behind the scenes.
          Let’s say someone clicked a button, which changed multiple pieces of state (like updating a counter and changing some text). Instead of calling Render twice, Batching would hold off and call Render only once when all the changes were ready.
          The Second Call: Re-rendering
          Now that Batching had Render’s back, life became much easier. Every time the state changed, React checked in with Render to re-run the component’s logic and refresh the UI.
          But React wasn’t wasteful — if the state didn’t change, Render wouldn’t get involved at all! React was efficient, only calling Render when something important needed updating.
          This is what the villagers called a Re-render. And the best part? Thanks to Batching, the UI stayed fast and snappy.
          Reconciliation: The Secret Dance of the Virtual DOM
          Here’s the most magical part of the story. Every time Render was called to re-render the component, React didn’t blindly tear everything down and start over. That would be wasteful!
          Instead, React had a secret weapon — the Virtual DOM.
          The Virtual DOM was like a blueprint of the UI. Every time Render re-ran, React used the Virtual DOM to compare the old version of the UI to the new one. This comparison process was called Reconciliation.
          During reconciliation, React looked for differences between the two versions of the UI. Maybe a button’s color changed, or a paragraph of text was updated. Whatever the changes were, React would make just those updates to the real DOM, leaving the rest of the UI untouched.
          By using reconciliation, React could make the UI updates surgical and efficient, keeping everything running smoothly for the users.
          The Happy Ending: A Smooth, Responsive UI
          And so, thanks to the teamwork between Batching, Render, and Reconciliation, React’s UI stayed fast, responsive, and delightful for the villagers.
          The magical system allowed users to interact with the app, change its state, and see updates instantly — without any lag or delay. Render didn’t have to overwork, and React’s Virtual DOM kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
          The land of React flourished, and the users were happy.
          The end… or rather, the beginning of your own React journey!
          Takeaways from the Story
          • Initial Render: The first time React creates the UI from scratch based on the component’s JSX.
            Batching: Groups multiple state updates into one render, preventing performance slowdowns.
            Re-render: Happens when state or props change; React calls the component again to refresh the UI.
            Reconciliation: React’s diffing algorithm that compares the old and new virtual DOM to update only what’s changed in the real DOM.
          This is the magic behind React’s performance, making sure your apps feel fast and responsive. So next time you use React, remember that Batching, Render, and Reconciliation are working hard behind the scenes to give you a great experience!
          This is the magic behind React’s performance, making sure your apps feel fast and responsive. So next time you use React, remember that Batching, Render, and Reconciliation are working hard behind the scenes to give you a great experience!
          Conclusion
          And there you have it! React’s core concepts, told through the story of a tireless worker, some smart batching, and an efficient reconciliation system. Hopefully, this gives you a better grasp of what happens behind the scenes in React, and how it ensures your applications are optimized for performance.
          Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important in a variety of applications, from mapping and navigation to location-based services and geospatial analytics. MongoDB, with its support for geospatial indexes and queries, provides an excellent platform for storing and querying geographical data. In this article, we’ll dive into MongoDB’s geospatial features and show how you can leverage them with Node.js.
          Setting Up the Data
          Before we explore the queries, we need to populate our MongoDB collection with geospatial data. I have uploaded the necessary JSON files: sl-places.json and sl-areas.json to my GitHub repository. These files contain geographical data for various places and areas in Sri Lanka, respectively.First, let’s write a seeder script to load this data into MongoDB. You can find the full code in My repository:
          const fs = require("fs");
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const initialSLPlaces = JSON.parse(
              fs.readFileSync("sl-places.json", "utf-8")
            );
            const initialSLAreas = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("sl-areas.json", "utf-8"));
            
            const db = await getDB();
            
            // Delete existing records to avoid duplication
            await db.collection("sl-places").deleteMany();
            
            // Insert new data into the collection
            await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .insertMany([...initialSLPlaces, ...initialSLAreas]);
            
            // Create a 2dsphere index to enable efficient geospatial queries
            await db.collection("sl-places").createIndex({ location: "2dsphere" });
            
            // Close the database connection
            closeDB();
          })();
          This experience taught me something profound: how important it is for people to feel that their work is recognized and appreciated. Recognition isn’t just a reward — it’s a powerful motivator that inspires individuals to excel and contribute to their fullest potential.
          Explanation:
          • getDB: Connects to the MongoDB database.
          • deleteMany: Clears the collection before inserting new data to prevent duplicates.
          • insertMany: Inserts the data from sl-places.json and sl-areas.json into the sl-places collection.
          • createIndex({ location: “2dsphere” }): Creates a 2dsphere index on the location field to enable efficient geospatial queries.
          Why Is Creating an Index Important?
          Indexes are critical for improving the performance of database queries, especially when dealing with large datasets. In the context of geospatial data, MongoDB uses 2dsphere indexes to support queries that deal with spherical geometry, such as finding points within a certain distance from a location or finding points within a polygon.
          Without a 2dsphere index on the location field, geospatial queries would be much slower, as MongoDB would need to scan every document in the collection to perform the query. By creating a 2dsphere index, MongoDB can efficiently query geospatial data by using the index to quickly find relevant documents based on their geographic location.
          1. Searching Places Near a Location
          One of the most common geospatial queries is finding places that are near a specific location. In MongoDB, we can use the $near operator to perform this search. The following Node.js code demonstrates how to search for places within 500 meters of Kirinda Beach (coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155]).
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            // Search near Kirinda Beach within 500m
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $near: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Point",
                      coordinates: [81.2570, 6.2155], // Coordinates for Kirinda Beach
                    },
                    $maxDistance: 500, // Max distance in meters
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display the found places
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();
          Explanation:
          • $near: The $near operator finds documents within a specified distance from a point. In this case, we are searching for places within 500 meters of the given coordinates.
          • $geometry: Defines the point around which we are searching.
          • $maxDistance: Limits the search to a maximum distance, in this case, 500 meters.
          Use Case:
          This query is ideal for applications that need to find nearby places, such as a location-based service for tourists, or a navigation app that shows nearby points of interest.
          2. Searching for Places Within a Polygon
          In addition to searching near a location, MongoDB allows you to search for places within a specific geographic area defined by a polygon. This can be useful for querying places that lie within a predefined region or boundary.
          The following example demonstrates how to search for places within a rectangular polygon defined by four corners:
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB();
          
            const places = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                location: {
                  $geoWithin: {
                    $geometry: {
                      type: "Polygon",
                      coordinates: [
                        [
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Bottom-left corner
                          [81.6, 6.2], // Bottom-right corner
                          [81.6, 6.5], // Top-right corner
                          [81.2, 6.5], // Top-left corner
                          [81.2, 6.2], // Closing the polygon
                        ],
                      ],
                    },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(places); // Display places within the polygon
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();
          Explanation:
          • $geoWithin: The $geoWithin operator is used to find documents within a specified geometry, which can be a polygon, circle, or other shapes.
          • $geometry: Defines the geometry (in this case, a polygon) to use for the search. The coordinates are provided in an array of longitude and latitude points that define the boundaries of the polygon.
          Use Case:
          This query is particularly useful for applications that need to filter results within a geographical region, such as finding all points of interest within a park, city, or administrative region.
          3. Searching for Areas that Intersect with a Point
          Whether it’s in the workplace or at home, appreciation is a universal need. It’s a small gesture that can have a lasting impact. A heartfelt “thank you,” a warm hug, or even a simple acknowledgment of someone’s effort can strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging.
          Below is an example of how to search for areas that intersect with the point[81.7302, 7.2801]:
          const { getDB, closeDB } = require("./db");
          
          (async () => {
            const db = await getDB("playground");
          
            const area = await db
              .collection("sl-places")
              .find({
                area: {
                  $geoIntersects: {
                    $geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [81.7302, 7.2801] },
                  },
                },
              })
              .toArray();
          
            console.log(area); // Display areas that intersect with the point
            closeDB(); // Close the database connection
          })();
          Explanation:
          • $geoIntersects: The $geoIntersects operator finds documents whose geometry intersects with the specified geometry.
          • $geometry: $geometry: Defines the geometry for the intersection query. In this case, we are searching for areas that intersect with a specific point.
          Use Case:
          This query can be used to determine which administrative regions or zoning areas intersect with a given point, such as determining which district a particular location belongs to.
          Conclusion
          MongoDB’s geospatial capabilities make it an excellent choice for applications that deal with location-based data. By using the 2dsphere index and geospatial operators like $near, $geoWithin, and $geoIntersects, developers can build powerful, location-aware applications.

          In this article, we’ve demonstrated how to perform basic geospatial queries with MongoDB and Node.js. We also covered the importance of creating a 2dsphere index, which is crucial for ensuring fast and efficient geospatial queries on large datasets.

          By integrating MongoDB’s geospatial queries into your application, you can create more intelligent, context-aware experiences for your users.

          React Native is celebrated for combining the strengths of native development with the flexibility of JavaScript. A standout feature of React Native is its Bridge, which enables smooth communication between JavaScript and native code. In this blog, I will demonstrate how I implemented the concepts of the React Native Bridge and native modules, using my repository, TheBridge, as an example.
          What is the React Native Bridge?
          The React Native Bridge acts as a translator that facilitates communication between the JavaScript thread and the native threads (iOS/Android). React Native operates in three main threads:
          1. JavaScript Thread: Where your React Native JavaScript code runs.
          2. Native Modules Thread: Where the native code executes.
          3. UI Thread: Responsible for rendering the user interface.
          When JavaScript needs to interact with native APIs (e.g., device sensors, file system access), it uses the bridge to send messages to the native code.
          Why Use Native Modules?
          While React Native offers many built-in components and APIs, certain features may require access to platform-specific functionalities that are not exposed by default. For instance, accessing low-level hardware features or third-party native libraries necessitates creating custom native modules.
          How I Implemented TheBridge Repository
          TheBridge repository demonstrates how to build a React Native bridge and native modules. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how I implemented it.

          npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init exampleProject
          
          This generated a boilerplate React Native project. I then set up the necessary files for implementing the native module.
          Step 2: Implementing the Android Native Module
          i. Creating a Native Module in Kotlin
          In the android directory of the project,I navigated to the java/com/exampleproject folder and created a new Kotlin class, CounterModule.kt. Below is the implementation:
          package com.exampleproject
          
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContextBaseJavaModule
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactMethod
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.Callback
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.Promise
          
          class CounterModule(reactContext: ReactApplicationContext) :
              ReactContextBaseJavaModule(reactContext) {
              private var counter = 0
          
              override fun getName(): String {
                  // The name we can access inside native modules
                  return "Counter"
              }
          
              // Expose increment method
              @ReactMethod
              fun increment(callback: Callback) {
                  counter++
                  // Call the callback with the updated counter value
                  callback.invoke(counter)
              }
          
              // Expose decrement method as a Promise
              @ReactMethod
              fun decrement(promise: Promise) {
                  if (counter > 0) {
                      counter--
                      promise.resolve(counter) // Resolve the promise with the updated counter value
                  } else {
                      promise.reject("COUNTER_ERROR", "Counter value cannot be less than 0")
                  }
              }
          }
          In this implementation, I created a CounterModule class that includes two methods:
          • increment: Increases the counter value and returns it via a callback.
          • decrement: Decreases the counter value if it is greater than 0 and resolves it as a promise. If the counter is already at 0, it rejects the promise with an error.
          ii. Registering the Module
          Next, I registered the native module by creating a Package class in Kotlin:
          package com.exampleproject
          
          import android.view.View
          import com.facebook.react.ReactPackage
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModule
          // Module register import
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext
          import com.facebook.react.uimanager.ReactShadowNode
          import com.facebook.react.uimanager.ViewManager
          
          // Extend ReactPackage to register module
          class CounterPackage : ReactPackage {
              override fun createNativeModules(
                  reactContext: ReactApplicationContext
              ): MutableList<NativeModule> = listOf(CounterModule(reactContext)).toMutableList()
          
              override fun createViewManagers(
                  reactContext: ReactApplicationContext
              ): MutableList<ViewManager<View, ReactShadowNode<*>>> = mutableListOf()
          }
          Finally, I linked the package in MainApplication.kt:
          override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> =
              PackageList(this).packages.apply {
                  // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here, for example:
                  add(CounterPackage())
              }
          Step 3: Implementing the IOS Native Module
          In addition to the Android implementation, let’s walk through how to implement the Counter native module for iOS using Swift. This will allow your app to access native functionality on both platforms seamlessly.
          i. Creating a Native Module in Swift
          For iOS, we need to create a CounterModule.swift file that contains the native code. Here's how I implemented it:
          // Counter.swift
          // exampleProject
          
          import Foundation
          
          // This to make sure to export these class/function to object c runtime
          @objc(Counter)
          class CounterModule: NSObject {
            private var count = 0
          
            //  _ is to get the first param, callback to get the second param
            @objc
            func increment(_ callback: RCTResponseSenderBlock) {
              count += 1
              //    print(count);
              callback([count])
            }
          
            @objc
            func decrement(_ resolve: RCTPromiseResolveBlock, reject: RCTPromiseRejectBlock) {
              if count == 0 {
                let error = NSError(domain: "Counter", code: 200, userInfo: nil)
                reject("ERROR_COUNT", "count cannot be negative", error)
              } else {
                count -= 1
                resolve(count)
              }
            }
          
            // This means we are asking React Native to initialize these modules before the JS main thread starts executing
            // If returns false, this means it's okay if we initialize the module in the background thread
            @objc
            static func requiresMainQueueSetup() -> Bool {
              return true
            }
          }
          This Swift code defines a simple CounterModule with two functions:
          • increment: Increases the counter and returns the new value to JavaScript via a callback.
          • decrement: Decreases the counter, returning a promise to resolve the new value or reject it with an error if the counter is already 0.
          ii. Creating the Objective-C Bridge (Counter.m)
          In order to expose the Swift class to React Native, we need to create a bridging header in Objective-C. This is done by adding a Counter.m file in the iOS project:
          // Counter.m
          // exampleProject
          
          #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
          
          // This will help us export the function to React Native
          #import "React/RCTBridgeModule.h"
          
          // Expose the Counter object
          @interface RCT_EXTERN_MODULE(Counter, NSObject)
          
          // Expose increment method
          RCT_EXTERN_METHOD(increment : (RCTResponseSenderBlock)callback)
          
          // Expose decrement promise
          RCT_EXTERN_METHOD(decrement : (RCTPromiseResolveBlock)resolve 
                            reject : (RCTPromiseRejectBlock)reject)
          
          @end
          The RCT_EXTERN_MODULE and RCT_EXTERN_METHOD macros are used to expose the Swift methods to React Native. These methods are now available for use in the JavaScript code.
          Step 4: Accessing the Native Module in JavaScript
          Once the native module was registered, I accessed it in JavaScript as follows:
          import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
          
          const { Counter } = NativeModules;
          
          // Increment the counter
          Counter.increment((newCounterValue) => {
            console.log(`Counter incremented: ${newCounterValue}`);
          });
          
          // Decrement the counter
          Counter.decrement()
            .then((newCounterValue) => {
              console.log(`Counter decremented: ${newCounterValue}`);
            })
            .catch((error) => {
              console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
            });
          This code imports the Counter module from NativeModules and calls the increment and decrement methods to manage the counter state.
          Step 5: Testing the Integration
          • The application was run on an Android emulator and IOS simulator.
          • The increment and decrement methods were invoked via button presses in the React Native app.
          • The counter values were confirmed by checking both the console logs and the display in the app.
          Conclusion
          Creating custom native modules using the React Native bridge allows developers to unlock the full potential of platform-specific features. By following the steps I outlined above, you can implement your own native modules for your app’s requirements.

          Imagine you’re in a coffee shop. You order a coffee, and instead of standing at the counter waiting until it’s done, you sit down and continue working or chatting. When the coffee is ready, the barista calls your name, and you collect your coffee. In the meantime, you haven’t wasted any time waiting — you’ve been doing other things.
          This is how asynchronous operations work in JavaScript. They allow you to start a task (like ordering coffee), continue doing other things (like working on something else), and when that task finishes, a callback is triggered to handle the result (like the barista calling your name).
          Why Asynchronous Operations Matter
          In the world of JavaScript, asynchronous operations are crucial for building fast and responsive applications. Here’s why:
          1. Non-blocking: JavaScript runs on a single thread, meaning it can only handle one task at a time. Without asynchronous operations, long-running tasks (like waiting for your coffee) would block everything else. Async operations let JavaScript handle other tasks while waiting for things like network requests or timers.
          2. Improved performance: Instead of waiting for tasks like fetching data or loading resources, the app can continue responding to user actions, making it feel faster and smoother.
          3. Concurrency: Async tasks can run in parallel. For example, while you’re waiting for coffee, you can read a book, chat with friends, or check your email.
          4. Efficient I/O tasks: Web development often involves tasks like fetching data from a server. Asynchronous operations allow this data fetching to happen without freezing the rest of your application.
          The Role of Callbacks
          In the early days of JavaScript, we used callbacks for handling asynchronous tasks. A callback is just a function that gets passed into another function, which gets called once the task is complete.
          Let’s go back to our coffee shop example:
          1. Non-blocking: JavaScript runs on a single thread, meaning it can only handle one task at a time. Without asynchronous operations, long-running tasks (like waiting for your coffee) would block everything else.

          The Role of Callbacks
          In the early days of JavaScript, we used callbacks for handling asynchronous tasks. A callback is just a function that gets passed into another function, which gets called once the task is complete.
          Let’s go back to our coffee shop example:
          But there was a problem…
          Here’s how this plays out:
          • You place the order (“Order placed”).
          • While the coffee is being brewed, you continue with other tasks.
          • After 2 seconds, the callback function (`handleOrder`) runs, letting you know your coffee is ready.
          The Problem with Callbacks: “Callback Hell”
          While callbacks work, they can get messy quickly. As the complexity grows, you might end up with deeply nested functions that are hard to read and maintain, commonly called callback hell:
          This quickly becomes a nightmare to manage. Thankfully, JavaScript has evolved, introducing Promises and later async/await, which allow us to write cleaner and more readable code.
          Promises: A Better Way
          A Promise in JavaScript is like saying, “I promise to do something when this task finishes.” You can attach .then() to a promise to handle the result and .catch() to deal with any errors.
          Here’s the previous coffee shop example using Promises:
          With promises, the code becomes more linear and easier to read. You can chain .then() to handle sequential tasks.
          Async/Await: The Cleanest Approach
          Finally, the introduction of async/await made asynchronous code even simpler to work with. It allows us to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code — more natural and readable.
          Here’s how you’d rewrite the coffee shop example using async/await:
          With async/await, the code looks cleaner, as if the asynchronous operations are happening one after the other, even though they’re still non-blocking in nature.
          The Engine Behind Asynchronous JavaScript: The Event Loop
          Behind the scenes, JavaScript uses something called the event loop to handle asynchronous tasks. It’s like a smart traffic controller, making sure all tasks are executed in the right order without blocking each other.
          Here’s how it works in a nutshell:
          1. When you run a piece of code, tasks go into the call stack, which is where synchronous tasks are handled.
          2. f an asynchronous task (like a network request or a timer) is encountered, it gets pushed to the event queue after it completes.
          3. The event loop continuously checks the call stack and event queue. When the call stack is empty, it takes tasks from the event queue and processes them.
          Wrapping Up
          Asynchronous programming is at the heart of modern JavaScript, allowing developers to build fast, responsive applications that can handle multiple tasks at once. While callbacks were the original tool, they often led to messy code. Promises and async/await have since provided cleaner, more readable ways to handle asynchronous tasks.
          Whether you’re fetching data, handling timers, or making a coffee shop order, understanding async in JavaScript helps you write code that’s efficient and maintainable.
          Imagine you’re in a coffee shop. You order a coffee, and instead of standing at the counter waiting until it’s done, you sit down and continue working or chatting. When the coffee is ready, the barista calls your name, and you collect your coffee. In the meantime, you haven’t wasted any time waiting — you’ve been doing other things.

          React Native is celebrated for combining the strengths of native development with the flexibility of JavaScript. A standout feature of React Native is its Bridge, which enables smooth communication between JavaScript and native code. In this blog, I will demonstrate how I implemented the concepts of the React Native Bridge and native modules, using my repository, TheBridge, as an example.
          What is the React Native Bridge?
          In the world of JavaScThe React Native Bridge acts as a translator that facilitates communication between the JavaScript thread and the native threads (iOS/Android). React Native operates in three main threads:
          ript, asynchronous operations are crucial for building fast and responsive applications. Here’s why:
          1. JavaScript Thread: Where your React Native JavaScript code runs.
          2. Native Modules Thread: Where the native code executes.
          3. UI Thread: Responsible for rendering the user interface.
          When JavaScript needs to interact with native APIs (e.g., device sensors, file system access), it uses the bridge to send messages to the native code.
          Why Use Native Modules?
          While React Native offers many built-in components and APIs, certain features may require access to platform-specific functionalities that are not exposed by default. For instance, accessing low-level hardware features or third-party native libraries necessitates creating custom native modules.
          How I Implemented TheBridge Repository
          The Bridge repository demonstrates how to build a React Native bridge and native modules. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how I implemented it.
          Step 1: Setting Up the React Native Project
          npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init exampleProject
          This generated a boilerplate React Native project. I then set up the necessary files for implementing the native module.
          Step 2: Implementing the Android Native Module
          1. i. Creating a Native Module in Kotlin
          2. In the android directory of the project, I navigated to the java/com/exampleproject folder and created a new Kotlin class, CounterModule.kt. Below is the implementation:
          package com.exampleproject
          
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactApplicationContext
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContextBaseJavaModule
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactMethod
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.Callback
          import com.facebook.react.bridge.Promise
          
          class CounterModule(reactContext: ReactApplicationContext) :
              ReactContextBaseJavaModule(reactContext) {
              private var counter = 0
          
              override fun getName(): String {
                  // The name we can access inside native modules
                  return "Counter"
              }
          
              // Expose increment method
              @ReactMethod
              fun increment(callback: Callback) {
                  counter++
                  // Call the callback with the updated counter value
                  callback.invoke(counter)
              }
          
              // Expose decrement method as a Promise
              @ReactMethod
              fun decrement(promise: Promise) {
                  if (counter > 0) {
                      counter--
                      promise.resolve(counter) // Resolve the promise with the updated counter value
                  } else {
                      promise.reject("COUNTER_ERROR", "Counter value cannot be less than 0")
                  }
              }
          }
          In this implementation, I created a CounterModule class that includes two methods:
          • increment: Increases the counter value and returns it via a callback.
          • decrement: Decreases the counter value if it is greater than 0 and resolves it as a promise. If the counter is already at 0, it rejects the promise with an error.
          ii. Registering the Module
          How I Implemented TheBridge Repository
          The Bridge repository demonstrates how to build a React Native bridge and native modules. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how I implemented it.
          Here’s how this plays out:
          npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init exampleProject
          This generated a boilerplate React Native project. I then set up the necessary files for implementing the native module.
          The Problem with Callbacks: “Callback Hell”
          While callbacks work, they can get messy quickly. As the complexity grows, you might end up with deeply nested functions that are hard to read and maintain, commonly called callback hell:
          This quickly becomes a nightmare to manage. Thankfully, JavaScript has evolved, introducing Promises and later async/await, which allow us to write cleaner and more readable code.
          Promises: A Better Way
          A Promise in JavaScript is like saying, “I promise to do something when this task finishes.” You can attach .then() to a promise to handle the result and .catch() to deal with any errors.
          Here’s the previous coffee shop example using Promises:
          With promises, the code becomes more linear and easier to read. You can chain .then() to handle sequential tasks.
          Async/Await: The Cleanest Approach
          Finally, the introduction of async/await made asynchronous code even simpler to work with. It allows us to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code — more natural and readable.
          Here’s how you’d rewrite the coffee shop example using async/await:
          With async/await, the code looks cleaner, as if the asynchronous operations are happening one after the other, even though they’re still non-blocking in nature.
          The Engine Behind Asynchronous JavaScript: The Event Loop
          Behind the scenes, JavaScript uses something called the event loop to handle asynchronous tasks. It’s like a smart traffic controller, making sure all tasks are executed in the right order without blocking each other.
          Here’s how it works in a nutshell:
          1. When you run a piece of code, tasks go into the call stack, which is where synchronous tasks are handled.
          2. f an asynchronous task (like a network request or a timer) is encountered, it gets pushed to the event queue after it completes.
          3. The event loop continuously checks the call stack and event queue. When the call stack is empty, it takes tasks from the event queue and processes them.
          Wrapping Up
          Asynchronous programming is at the heart of modern JavaScript, allowing developers to build fast, responsive applications that can handle multiple tasks at once. While callbacks were the original tool, they often led to messy code. Promises and async/await have since provided cleaner, more readable ways to handle asynchronous tasks.
          Whether you’re fetching data, handling timers, or making a coffee shop order, understanding async in JavaScript helps you write code that’s efficient and maintainable.
          Building an enterprise web application is a complex undertaking, and the challenges that come with it can be daunting, even for experienced developers.
          In 2022 we built a capital allocation app called Echelon. Today we will look back on our experience with designing and building Echelon.
          When I look back at my notes, the primary challenge that stands out when building the product is creating a custom Gantt chart from scratch. We tried several free libraries, but they did not fulfill the requirements. After several attempts, our technical leader finally decided to start from scratch, which required extensive research and testing.
          Gantt chart
          When we started building this feature, we realized that the top 3 challenges we had to overcome were complexity, performance, and scalability. We had to ensure that the feature fulfilled all of its requirements and that it would be up to its standards.
          1. Complexity
          In terms of complexity, we had to integrate features like drag and drop and Gantt charts from scratch, which required extensive research and testing. When developing these features, we had to research different libraries that could be used to fulfill the requirements. Based on the pros and cons of each library, we had to make quick and smart decisions without wasting valuable time. We also had to implement various validations to ensure users could not drop items in invalid positions or overlap them. Additionally, rendering objectives that spanned multiple months required significant effort to ensure they were correctly displayed and updated across different devices and screen sizes.
          2. Performance
          Regarding performance, we faced significant challenges when implementing drag-and-drop functionality and loading Gantt charts with many objectives. To address these issues, we used reusable components to streamline our code base. We extracted all the objectives into the parent component when the page loaded, reducing load times and improving the user experience.
          3. Scalability
          Finally, scalability became a concern as our application grew in size and complexity. We had to ensure that our application was flexible enough to accommodate changes in requirements and capable of handling increasing traffic and user demand.
          Apart from all the top challengers, one of our key concerns was getting the application ready for enterprise-level users, which required heavy testing and bug-fixing rounds. We had to test our application in various situations and scenarios that promise to give the user the optimal experience throughout the application.
          Building an enterprise web application is a complex and challenging task that requires careful planning, testing, and collaboration. However, leveraging the right tools and approaches makes it possible to overcome the challenges and deliver a successful application that meets the needs of the business and its users.
          In the fast-paced world of software development, test automation has become a game-changer. It ensures faster delivery and higher-quality products, yet many teams struggle to implement it effectively. The good news? By mastering key strategies and leveraging the right tools, you can revolutionize your QA process.
          Imagine cutting testing time in half while maintaining flawless accuracy. Sounds impossible? It isn’t. This guide reveals test automation secrets with practical examples that remain relevant as technologies evolve.
          Why Test Automation Is a Must-Have in QA
          The Importance of Automation in Modern Development

          Stat Alert: Companies using test automation reduce testing time by up to 50% on average.
          Real-World Impact
          Picture this: A global e-commerce platform reduced production bugs by 40% after automating its regression suite. The result? Happier users and skyrocketing sales.
          10 Secrets to Mastering Test Automation
          1. Choose the Right Tool for Your Needs
            The success of automation hinges on selecting the right tool.
            Consider factors like:
            • Programming language compatibility.
            • Cross-platform support.
            • Integration with CI/CD pipelines.
            Top Tools to Explore:
            • Selenium (open-source, versatile)
            • Cypress (ideal for modern web apps)
            • Playwright (fast and reliable cross-browser testing)
            Example:
            import webdriver
            
            driver = webdriver.Chrome()
            driver.get("https://example.com")
            assert driver.getTitle().contains("Example Domain");
            driver.quit() 
          2. Start Small and Scale Gradually
            Focus on automating high-priority, repetitive test cases first, such as:
            • Login functionality.
            • Form validations.
            • Regression tests.
          3. Integrate Automation with CI/CD
            Combine test automation with your CI/CD pipeline to:
            • Detect issues early.
            • Enable seamless deployments.
            Example with Jenkins:
            pipeline {
                stages {
                    stage('Test') {
                        steps {
                            sh 'pytest tests/'
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
          4. Design Tests for Reusability
            Reusable test scripts save time and effort.
            Implement:
            • Parameterized tests.
            • Modular frameworks.
            Example with Pytest:
            import pytest
            
            @pytest.mark.parametrize("username,password", [("user1", "pass1"), ("user2", "pass2")])
            def test_login(username, password):
                assert login(username, password) == "Success"
          5. Emphasize Maintenance
            Automated tests can break with changing requirements.
            Ensure maintainability by:
            • Regularly reviewing test scripts.
            • Using version control.
          6. Balance Automation and Manual Testing
            Not all tests are suited for automation.
            Use manual testing for:
            • Exploratory testing.
            • UX evaluations.
          7. Leverage Reporting and Analytics
            Use tools like Allure or ExtentReports for:
            • Clear test results.
            • Actionable insights.
          8. Optimize Test Execution Time

          • Trying to automate every test case can lead to:
            • Increased complexity.
            • Diminished returns.
          Neglecting Test Data Management
          • Unreliable test data can derail your efforts. Use tools like Faker for dynamic data generation:
            Example from faker:
            fake = Faker()
            print(fake.email())
          Ignoring Team Collaboration
          Foster open communication between QA and development teams for smoother implementations.

          Introduction
          In modern applications, managing database credentials securely and dynamically is crucial, especially in environments where secrets rotate frequently. This post addresses a common issue faced when using Prisma ORM: handling dynamic database credential rotation without breaking existing connections or affecting application stability.
          We’ll walk through the problem, the challenges, and a robust solution leveraging Prisma’s @prisma/adapter-pg and AWS Secrets Manager on the NestJS project.Additionally, we’ll explore deployment considerations, including handling Prisma migrations and seed operations during the build and deploy stages, ensuring that your application runs smoothly in production.
          The Problem
          Prisma is a powerful ORM, but it does not natively support dynamic fetching of database credentials.
          This becomes a challenge when:
          10 Secrets to Mastering Test Automation
          1. Database Secrets Rotate: In cloud environments like AWS, secrets often rotate for enhanced security. A new password might invalidate existing connections.
          2. Application Downtime: When credentials change, existing database connections fail, leading to potential downtime.
          3. Manual Reinitialization: Reinitializing the Prisma client every time credentials rotate can be cumbersome and error-prone.
          Key Challenges:
          1. Avoiding downtime during credential rotation.
          2. Ensuring existing connections finish gracefully.
          3. Seamlessly using new credentials for new connections.
          The Solution
          We solve this problem by combining:
          1. Prisma’s @prisma/adapter-pg: Allows integration with the pg library, giving fine-grained control over connection pooling.
          2. AWS Secrets Manager: Securely stores and rotates database credentials.
          3. Dynamic Pool Initialization: Using pg's connection pooling capabilities to dynamically fetch credentials and manage connections.
          Implementation Steps
          1. Install Dependencies Ensure you have the necessary libraries: Also need to Upgraded Prisma and @prisma/client to the latest versions to enable compatibility with the @prisma/adapter-pg adapter and support dynamic connection management.
            npm install @prisma/adapter-pg @aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager pg
          2. Update Prisma Schema Enable driverAdapters preview feature in schema.prisma:
            generator client {
              provider        = "prisma-client-js"
              previewFeatures = ["driverAdapters"]
            }
            Generate the Prisma client:
            npx prisma generate
            
          3. SecretsService for Fetching Credentials A service to retrieve credentials from AWS Secrets Manager:
            import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
            import { SecretsManagerClient, GetSecretValueCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-secrets-manager';
            
            @Injectable()
            export class SecretsService {
              private secretsManagerClient: SecretsManagerClient;
            
              constructor() {
                this.secretsManagerClient = new SecretsManagerClient({
                  region: 'YOUR_AWS_REGION',
                });
              }
            
              // Fetch database URL from AWS Secrets Manager
              async getDatabaseUrl(): Promise<string> {
                try {
                  const secretId = 'YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ID';
                  const command = new GetSecretValueCommand({ SecretId: secretId });
                  const secret = await this.secretsManagerClient.send(command);
                  if (!secret.SecretString) {
                    throw new Error('SecretString is empty');
                  }
                  const credentials = JSON.parse(secret.SecretString);
                  return credentials.password;
            
                } catch (error) {
                  throw error;
                }
              }
            }
          4. DatabaseService with Dynamic Connection Management This service integrates Prisma with dynamic credential fetching:
            import { Injectable, OnModuleInit } from '@nestjs/common';
            import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
            import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg';
            import { SecretsService } from '../secrets/secrets.service';
            import { Pool } from 'pg';
            
            @Injectable()
            export class DatabaseService extends PrismaClient implements OnModuleInit {
              private pool: Pool;
            
              constructor(
                private readonly secretsService: SecretsService,
              ) {
                // Dynamically fetch the password and set up the pg Pool
                const pool = new Pool({
                  host: process.env.DB_HOST,
                  user: process.env.DB_USER,
                  database: process.env.DB_NAME,
                  port: 5432,
                  password: async () => {
                    return await this.secretsService.getDatabaseUrl();
                  },
                  ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false },
                });
                const adapter = new PrismaPg(pool);
                super({ adapter });
              }
            
              // Connect to the database
              async onModuleInit() {
                try {
                  await this.$connect();
                } catch (error) {
                  throw error;
                }
              }
            
              // Close the database connection pool when the application shuts down
              async onModuleDestroy() {
                try {
                  await this.pool.end();
                } catch (error) {
                  throw error;
                }
              }
            }
          Why Use ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false }?
          When connecting to a database over SSL, the rejectUnauthorized option determines whether the client verifies the database server's SSL certificate. By setting rejectUnauthorized: false, the client skips this validation, which can be helpful during local development or testing when certificates might not be properly configured. However, in production, it's better to ensure secure communication by using properly configured SSL certificates and enabling rejectUnauthorized: true. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks and ensures the authenticity of the database server.
          If both your EC2 instance (or Elastic Beanstalk application) and RDS instance are in the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the communication happens over a secure, private network. In this case, the risk of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks is significantly reduced, even if rejectUnauthorized is set to false
          Why This Works
          1. Dynamic Credential Fetching: The SecretsService ensures the latest credentials are always fetched.
          2. Connection Pool Management: Using pg's Pool ensures connections finish gracefully before new credentials are used.
          3. No Downtime: Existing queries complete, while new ones use the updated credentials.
          Key Benefits
          1. Security: Leverages AWS Secrets Manager for secure credential storage and rotation.
          2. Scalability: Handles multiple connections efficiently with pg's pooling.
          3. Reliability: Ensures smooth transitions during credential rotations.
          Prisma Schema URL Limitation
          It’s important to note that the changes for dynamically updating the database credentials at runtime do not affect the schema URL used during the initial setup of Prisma. This means that operations like migrations and seeding, which rely on the schema URL, will still use the static database URL defined during the initial Prisma configuration.
          How to Handle This in Deployment:
          1. Build-Time Schema URL: During the build stage of your deployment pipeline (e.g., using AWS CodePipeline), you can generate the database connection URL dynamically. For example:
            Example for encoding:
            DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:$(encodeURIComponent 'password')@host:5432/dbname"
            
          2. Migrations and Seeding in the Deploy Stage: In the deploy stage, use the generated schema URL to perform necessary database migrations and seed operations. These operations ensure the database schema is up-to-date and properly seeded before the application starts.
          3. Runtime Dynamic Updates: Once the deployment and migration processes are complete, the application can leverage the runtime dynamic updates to handle credential rotation and other dynamic database connection updates seamlessly. This runtime functionality is particularly beneficial for handling API requests and ensuring the application remains functional even when database credentials are rotated.
          Conclusion
          By integrating @prisma/adapter-pg with AWS Secrets Manager and pg, we solved the challenge of dynamic database credential rotation in Prisma. This approach ensures high availability, security, and scalability for modern applications.
          In this series of blog posts, I want to share my journey of learning React with you. This is not an article about how I learned React in a few hours or days, it took several months to reach the point where I am right now. I remember how much I struggled in the beginning because of the series of mistakes I made during that time. In these articles, I want to share how to avoid those mistakes if you are new to React. I’ll share my experience and some tips you can follow when you start learning React for the first time.
          As the first step of my journey with React, I followed YouTube videos as everyone does, and searched for react crash courses that are suitable for beginners. On YouTube, there were several React tutorials and they made it difficult to find a suitable one for me as a beginner. I was having no idea about the difference between the two types of components which made it more and more complex. If you are new to React I highly recommend you avoid watching any video tutorials before 2020, because those tutorials may contain some outdated concepts and they may lead you to learn class components only. I highly encourage you to start by learning functional components and hooks, as they are the way to go nowadays.
          On YouTube, some of the videos I found were more than 3 hours long, which was a quite long time for me as a developer with some hands-on experience in HTML and Vanilla JavaScript. Also, I found several tutorials mixed with both class components and functional components which made it more complex to understand the concept correctly. In my opinion, when you start learning something new, you should not spend much more time learning complex things, at first. You should try to find a short crash course that only teaches you the fundamentals of React like setting up the environment, components, JSX syntax, props, etc. There are several React starting guides available on the internet, but you should visit the official react documentation and follow the Intro to React tutorial first. Before going into the deep, you can try to build a simple web page with the knowledge you gathered. It will make you feel comfortable with React.
          By looking into several video tutorials I learned some React concepts like state, hooks, virtual DOM, JSX, and the lifecycle of a component. For the very first time, I was not able to understand these concepts profoundly and how they are used in React. But I observed some knowledge and build some test applications using React.
          After that only I figured out that to use React better, I must have a better understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. During my university period, I primarily used Java and PHP languages for academic submissions and projects. So, at that time I had only basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. When it comes to learning new technologies, I was just like the kid in this picture, trying to leap into the top stair without stepping on the first which led me to lots of struggles later.
          To begin with React you should be hands-on with JavaScript. It doesn’t mean that you need to have complete knowledge of all the JS concepts from legacy to modern. Since it might be useless because React syntax is based on modern JavaScript, which was mostly introduced in ECMAScript 6. When I started learning React, I was not much comfortable with modern JavaScript concepts like promises and arrow functions. So when I was using them, I was always in a doubt with these features whether those are related to JavaScript or related to React. It made learning and understanding even more difficult.
          These are a few important ES6 concepts you need to know before learning React. If you are good with these things, it will make learning React easy and painless.
          • Map Function — This Allows you to iterate over an array and modify its elements.
          • Find Function — Returns the first element in the provided array that satisfies the condition of the function.
          • Callback Function — Allows a function to call another function.
          • Promises — This technique is used to handle asynchronous operations.
          • Async / Await — This makes it easier to write promises
          • De-structuring — This allows getting data from objects and arrays to set them into new variables.
          • Rest Operator — Allows a function to accept an indefinite number of arguments as an array
          • Spread Operator— allow a copy of all parts of the existing array into another array (object work as same)
          I highly recommend you allocate some time to understand the theoretical parts of React before starting coding in a real-world project. It will save you a lot of time in the future when you are implementing complex concepts in your project. I know it’s kind of boring to understand the core of React, but it is important to know how React behaves and why you use React in your project instead of vanilla JavaScript or other front-end frameworks, and what are the benefits you can get using React JS. It took me several months to understand correctly what I am doing with React because I did not put much effort into learning these things.
          If you feel comfortable with modern JavaScript and the basic concepts of React you are good to go with learning complex React concepts. I’ll share what is the correct road map for learning React hooks and more complex React concepts in my next blog post.
          In React, we use states to render and update dynamic values within single or multiple components. State management is built into the object. When the state changes, the components which used those states also re-render. If a state is used in multiple components we call it global state and unstated-next is a simple library that we can use to manage these global states.
          Global state management
          Techniques such as prop drilling are used to pass states and state update functions to child components, but it is harder when we have to pass the state through a deeply nested component tree.

          Passing state through deeply nested components can be challenging.

          Moreover it’s going to be a mess when we have to share state between non-connected components.

          Sharing state between non-connected components gets messier.

          We can solve this problem by lifting user state up to the App component. But this can make our code messy when handling many states throughout the app.

          For global state management we can use the React context API or libraries such as Redux or Recoil. In this post

          In this post we do not go deeper into these topics and we will see how can we do this using unstated-next.

          Unstated-next : Unstated-next is a simple light-weight library created based on React’s context API. We can use its simple API methods to manage global states throughout the app.

          Step by step guide

          I’ll demonstrate the capabilities through a basic React app which has few components. Before proceeding, go ahead and create or clone a simple app.

          Folder structure of the sample project

          Here in the app, Products.js and UserProfile.js represent separate pages and SideBar.js and TopBar.js components are used in both pages.

          1. Data Collection
          Machine learning models rely on large amounts of data to learn effectively. The more diverse and high-quality the data, the better the model can generalize to new situations.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models analyze raw data from sources like databases, sensors, or web scraping.
          • Through preprocessing (removing inconsistencies, missing values, and duplicates), models ensure they are learning from clean and meaningful data.
          • The model observes input patterns to identify correlations and trends that might not be obvious to humans.
          Example: In fraud detection, data from user transactions (e.g. timestamps, locations, amounts) is collected. The model learns the normal spending behavior of users and identifies anomalies as potential fraud.
          3. Model Selection and Training
          Training is where the actual learning happens. The model is exposed to historical data and adjusts its internal parameters (weight and biases) to recognize patterns and relationships.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models learn by adjusting their predictions based on labeled data (in supervised learning) or by discovering patterns on their own (in unsupervised learning).
          • Algorithms like neural networks use iterative optimization techniques (e.g. gradient descent) to minimize prediction.
          • Training involves feeding the model with input-output pairs repeatedly until it learns to make accurate predictions.
          Example: In spam detection, the model is trained on a thousand labeled emails to understand what features (e.g. specific keywords, sender addresses) correlate with spam messages.
          4. Evaluation
          Once the model is trained, it needs to be evaluated to ensure it generalizes well to new, unseen data. Evaluation helps detect issues like overfitting (memorizing training data) or underfitting (failing to learn).
          How the model learns from data:
          • The model is tested on unseen data (validation/test sets) o measure accuracy, precision, recall, and other metrics.
          • Fine-tuning is done by adjusting hyperparameters (e.g. learning rate, number of layers) to enhance performance.
          • Evaluation provides feedback to improve learning by highlighting gaps in knowledge.
          Example: A self-driving car model is tested in different environments to check how well it adapts to various road conditions.
          5. Deployment and Monitoring
          Once the model is deployed in real-world scenarios it continues to learn and improve time by processing new incoming data. Continuous monitoring ensures the model remains accurate and relevant.
          How the model learns from data:
          • Models update themselves using real-world data, detecting changes in patterns over time (concept drift).
          • Feedback loops allow users to correct errors, helping the model learn from mistakes.
          • Retraining is performed periodically with fresh data to avoid degradation in performance.
          Example: In a recommendation system like Netflix, the model adapts to user performance changes by analyzing new viewing habits and interactions.
          Conclusion
          Machine learning has revolutionized the way we interact with technology and solve complex problems across industries. From healthcare and finance to entertainment and beyond, ML enables systems to learn from data, adapt over time, and make intelligent decisions with minimal human interaction.
          As we’ve explored, machine learning models follow a structured learning process — starting from data collection and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment. Each step plays a crucial role in ensuring that the model is accurate, efficient, and continuously improving.
          Understanding how machine learning works is essential for anyone looking to harness its potential, whether you’re a business professional, developer, or enthusiast. With advancements in AI and data science, the possibilities of ML are expanding rapidly, opening new doors for automation, personalization, and innovation.
          Thank you for reading.
          I hope it helped.

          “Learning Mondays are something special at Nimi”.
          This is a common answer from employees who took part in an interview about Nimi’s experimental “Grow Today” work week. Back in Q4 of 2022, the executive team had a transformational idea to reinvent the work experience in Sri Lanka.
          We eliminated large team meetings, shifted from a web meeting culture to digital-first asynchronous communication and introduced the concept of learning Mondays.
          Changing our meeting culture created more focus time for our employees and made in-person meetings something to look forward to. As expected it boosted productivity for both our office and remote teams.
          The most transformative introduction was learning Mondays.
          Why Learning Mondays
          Here at Nimi, we only take on engagements where we are working on the latest and cutting-edge technologies. We build APIs, web and mobile applications and test automation frameworks.
          A fundamental expectation of the Nimi experience is that our employees are “Growing Today”, and not at some arbitrary point in the future. To ensure this, we created a certification program in 2022 where we would reimburse any educational expenses for our employees when they take and successfully complete an exam.
          Despite this great benefit, we actually found that our employees did not prioritize time to learn. This is understandable because the customer always comes first, resulting in our team having a very packed work week.
          We also noticed that due to our meeting culture, and this constant feeling of “falling behind” our employees were actually having to introduce learning time throughout the week and weekend in a disjointed way which we identified as “not productive.”
          What if we could combine all the 15-minute learning sessions throughout the week into a block of focus time on a single day?
          After implementing this and making the necessary tweaks to support our customer and employee needs, we officially made it part of our benefits package in January 2023.
          What Nimians think of Learning Monday
          Nimi has always offered new learning and skill development to all employees who joined and employees are happily sharing what they gained individually out of Nimi.
          “Nimi gave me the opportunity to test the practicality of the theories I learned” said Navodya, an Associate Software Engineer. In her tenure she was able to learn coding standards, GIT commands usage, and merging. Overall, she was able to learn the flow of a project from soup to nuts.
          Amanda an Intern on the Nimi QA team, said that automation was very new to her before joining Nimi. Prior to joining the company she had been trained on manual testing. Apart from the technical benefits of Learning Monday she was also able to develop her communication skills by understanding the needs and wants of the clients and satisfying them. She dedicated a day per week to research, focus and learn time management. Plus, the additional course materials in the Nimi library have helped her in identifying context.
          Taking Madawa’s experience at Nimi, he only knew basics of Java programming. But Nimi offered him the opportunity to get a deeper understanding of Java as well as the fundamentals of full stack software development through exposure to Node and React.
          Maneesha admitted that she had a very basic knowledge of programming when she joined the Nimi Grow program. Through the last few months she’s gathered exposure to development tactics, test cases, frameworks, and apps used in test automation.
          The Nimi Experience
          When interviewing Nimians for this post, we discovered that culture was a key driver of their satisfaction. Learning Monday turned out to be a highlight. They liked that Monday could be dedicated as a time to focus on their individual developments as well as planning for the rest of the week — an additional boon when you consider that most of Monday is Sunday night in the United States.
          Another thing which all employees mentioned was even though the operations were happening remotely during the Covid shutdown, Nimi made sure all members are engaged and knew each other very well. So, monthly meet ups were organized where all employees could get to know each other personally and build lasting professional relationships.
          Employees also commented that events such as the Holiday party, birthday celebrations and the annual Hackathon were things that they really looked forward to. The combination of a thoughtful event calendar with an open collaborative environment has helped build bonds between Nimians that are lifelong.
          We challenged everything at Nimi, from how we interview candidates (collaborative group interviews vs. 1–1 grilling sessions), to how we work and have fun as a team. The thesis was that there was an opportunity to bring the silicon-valley mindset to the rest of the world in upskilling global talent.
          And that’s what we’ve done and more.
          What’s next
          The first half of 2023 is a very critical time at Nimi, as we take our learnings from building this company to see how we can positively impact all other employers in Sri Lanka and the rest of the world. Stay tuned for some of our exciting product launches that challenge the status quo on what tools and services we can provide to improve productivity for R&D teams in the global south.
