Description

Are you ready to become a database expert in the Node.js ecosystem?

Master database management in Node.js with hands-on projects using Prisma, TypeORM, Knex.js, Sequelize ORM, and MongoDB/Mongoose - Build production-ready applications

This comprehensive course takes you from beginner to advanced level in working with databases using Node.js. You'll master the five most popular ORMs and database tools used in modern Node.js development: Prisma, TypeORM, Knex.js, Sequelize, and MongoDB with Mongoose.

Why This Course?

In today's backend development landscape, choosing the right ORM can make or break your project. Each ORM has its strengths, use cases, and trade-offs. This course gives you hands-on experience with ALL major options so you can:


- Make informed decisions about which ORM fits your project

- Switch between ORMs confidently in different job roles

- Understand the underlying concepts that apply across all database tools

- Build production-ready applications with best practices


What Makes This Course Different?

Practical, Project-Based Learning - Every concept is demonstrated with real code examples 

Comparison Approach - See how the same operations work across different ORMs 

Production Patterns - Learn migrations, transactions, relationships, and optimization 

Modern Stack - TypeScript, Express, NestJS integration included 

SQL & NoSQL - Cover both relational databases and MongoDB
