A short talk delivered at Milan MEAN meetup, where I discuss shortcomings of existing REST API frameworks and explaining how LoopBack solves them for you.
14. Databases
Build CrUD API for each model
Services (SOAP, REST)
Map back-end API to front-end API
General concerns:
Authentication, ACLs
Back-tier
15. Choose the database on the fly
Unit-tests
in-memory database
Integration/end-to-end tests:
the real database
Prototyping
MongoDB or filesystem-based DB
Perhaps SQL in production?
