On the database side^ we review basic CRUD operations^ NoSQL databases^ in particular MongoDB and Mongoose for accessing MongoDB from NodeJS. We examine the REST concepts and building a RESTful API. We touch upon authentication and security. Finally we review backend as a service (BaaS) approaches^ including mobile BaaS^ both open-source and commercial BaaS services.
