The Chapo Traphouse podcast touched on the Erie Canal in Episode 557 "The Inebriated Past 10: Mormons, pt. 1", especially as the backdrop for the story of Joseph Smith and the creation, of course, of the Mormon church. It's

pgTAP is pretty good for PostgreSQL, but I don't know what if any options are available for other databases. https://pgtap.org/

That's a good point about MySQL. PostgreSQL wasn't quite ready for primetime at that time, and Oracle and MSSQL aren't free. That left MySQL to fill the gap, but it's not really built for this style of development.

That depends. I worked with customers 25 years ago who put loads of business logic in very long and involved T-SQL stored procedures in MSSQL or PL/SQL stored procedures in Oracle. That may have made maintenance more difficult for

I'm aware of that belief, but I do not share it.

The customers I work with tend to use database migration tools like Flyway or Liquibase, have their DDL in source control, run tests, and have fairly conventional CI/CD. As I said above, I've never personally worked on a large tea

That's a matter of taste. I find most of the business logic I need to express involves finding and transforming relational data, a task to which SQL is better suited than any general purpose programming language. Often, SQL is all that

Fair. I've only ever had success with this strategy as a solo hacker. It was once claimed to me that this would be a disaster on large teams and I had to admit that I had no evidence one way or the other. Don't know if that res

I see it differently. In the 25 years I've been working in this industry I see a welcome trend toward doing more in the database, such that the impedance mismatch dissipates. This is from a low-water mark 20 years ago or so, when mos

One way to have tighter integration between the database and the application logic is to abandon the application code altogether. Express the application logic right in the database using (custom) data types, domains, defaults, constra

Ahh, I see. Yeah, I suppose some examples in the docs would be nice. Anyway, here's an example with Hasura: https://gist.github.com/dventimihasura/b3f3c9e7ef1442d8e7f16...

PostGraphile compiles GraphQL directly to SQL. The SQL is "custom" in that it's specific to the GraphQL operation, though naturally it does follow rules. For example, Hasura does the same thing, and among the rules that it

Incidentally, I see no evidence in those links or elsewhere that either Walmart or Netflix is using node to meditate interactions with upstream data sources. What I do see elsewhere is the usual suspects: some databases and message queues,

It's dodgy finding the right search term, but at first blush it looks like sequelize is most popular, though the gap has narrowed considerably.

I'm just trying to get a sense of what tools are most commonly used.

Do you want to meet people where they are and help them with solutions given their constraints? Or, do you want to offer solutions using your preferred tools? There are no wrong answers, as far as I'm concerned. I'm just curious w

The point of the comment is to confront the following question: "What exactly are we trying to do here?" Are we trying to offer GraphQL servers? Or are we trying to offer GraphQL servers in Node? Because, if it's the latter,
