In this course, students will learn how to create a functional database leveraging Microsoft azure, enterprise-level cloud architecture, and MongoDB, a customizable NoSQL database. The final product will serve as a template database app for a plethora of use cases. This course consists of 4 Sections and a final summary for testing.

Section 1 – Express covers, installing the required libraries, .env files, coding with the express.js library, and the parcel web bundler. Section 2 is about Azure. I cover the benefits of using azure and the capabilities of the blob service API. Finally, students will write code to send blobs to the azure storage container and save generated URLs from upload files.

Section 3 – Setup MongoDB covers connecting to MongoDB with the generated connection string. Students will learn how to design a data Schema. Students will understand the relationship between a data schema and a data model. Finally, students will write methods to save data to MongoDB.

In Section 4, socket IO is introduced as a solution to send data between client programs and the main server. The concept of a client socket and server socket is explained. Students will leave this section with an understanding of how to implement socket IO.

Finally, the build is tested in the following ways:

• Test that the server recognizes the file URL
• Test that MongoDB is uploading the Meta-data.
• Ensure the File is successfully uploaded to Azure
