Hosting Node.js and MongoDB. After digging into web development with Node.js the last couple of months I had to choose where to host this blog, which I had decided to rewrite and run with Node as a result of my research.
To be honest, I’ve been surprised there is no real ecosystem of (shared) hosting providers offering Node.js and MongoDB (which often is the obvious choice when developing a node application) on the cheap. There are some providers like nodejitsu for Node.js and mongolab for MongoDB - but there is no fully integrated experience as you would expect it coming from the LAMP world or even ASP.NET. So it seemed to be a Do-it-yourself-world. Challenge accepted! :-) Requirements My personal requirements were: Run Node.js and MongoDB (or any other database) side-by-side.

When you write a module, what options do you have for designing its interface? When I was first learning to work in Node I found the sheer number of ways to do things to be a bit overwhelming. JavaScript is extremely flexible and the community of developers contributing to open source seem to have different styles for implementing the same thing.
On my journey with Node I've been keeping an eye out the Good Way to do things and adopting them for use in my own work and in our work at Good Eggs. In this post I'll share my observations of the Node module system and the ways in which you can use it to encapsulate and share code. I discuss seven patterns below, many of which can be used in combination. Require, exports and module.exports First some fundamentals. In Node requiring a file is requiring the module it defines. It's as if there were an implicit line at the beginning of each module that reads: and require it with: Export Away! Migrating from 2.x to 3.x · visionmedia/express Wiki.
