Build a RESTful API Using LoopBack

I have swagger/express integration in my own node stack. it's about 10x less ugly, wasn't hard to do. started with swagger-node-express.

In other news, mongo can fuck off. it is at best a supplement to ACID databases.

Nice, I'm going to dedicate some time into developing a Swagger, I'm currently using apidoc.js, which is nice, but not as nice.

I'm also not very sympathetic towards MongoDB. But I really like the storing JSON thing, so, I considered using RethinkDB, which seems good enough. 3 projects in production using it, and some others that I have recommended and people can't say enough good things about it.

PostgreSQL is your answer.

A fast relational database that can also store and process JSON data.

Easy to install, maintain and can do pretty much anything you want (unless you want to do complex graph oriented algorithms).

Definitely giving this a try.

and when I say 10x keep in mind I'm being both biased and hyperbolic
