Making RESTful Web Services the Easy Way with Node.js - Dan Mcghan
Drivers make it easy to connect to and run statements against a database. That means they're perfect for creating RESTful APIs, right? Well, you'll want to add some pagination capabilities, maybe sorting controls, and what about some generic filtering options too. You could do all that with the driver and some smart code, but is it really the best approach? Well, that depends...
In this session, attendees will learn about some of the benefits and challenges associated with manual API creation. Once those are understood, we'll explore several tools that offer similar functionality out of the box, including Sails and ORDS.
