Life automation engineering In recent years I’ve spent more and more time trying to continuously optimize my daily routine. Fixing the pain points, and improving my productivity. At the end of the day, it’s all about freeing up more time and being able to focus more on what matters and what I like.
As I was thinking about it, wrapping up 2022, I realized how aligned this life mindset is with my Automation engineering job’s principles....

In Part I to III we built a generic server with the help of Koa.js, GraphQL, MongoDB and Docker. Let’s add some tests with Mocha to make sure we don’t introduce regressions when we add more code.
Requirements: Understanding why testing is important (😉)....

In Part I and II we didn’t write much code. Time to write some boilerplate code, and to make our first queries to the MongoDB database through the GraphQL API. There’s no easy way to proceed step by step with this chapter, but everything will make sense at the end....

In Part I we built a basic Koa.js server with Typescript and improved our workflows with some tooling. The next step would be to set up a database to store and retrieve data. We will use MongoDB, a NoSQL database....

I recently needed to build a server for a side project. Building the foundation to provide generic features any server is expected to deliver ended up being a new side project by itself!
Today there are many great tools to build a robust and versatile back-end, and plenty documentation available....
