MongoDB

MongoDB was one of the first databases Wasif Khan worked with, and he quickly became adept at creating RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js as the server. He found that while populating databases was relatively straightforward, the real challenge lay in designing an efficient architecture for API requests that balanced performance and cost-effectiveness.

Wasif learned the importance of managing data effectively, implementing strategies to cache data and refresh the cache when the database was updated. This approach not only optimized performance but also reduced costs for the company by minimizing unnecessary database queries. His experience with MongoDB and API design further solidified his skills in backend development, allowing him to create more efficient and scalable applications.
