Exposing sensitive data from NoSQL databases
The way to expose sensitive data in NoSQL databases is pivotal to protecting sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of your application.
In this recipe, we will demonstrate how to securely view our data through database aggregations with the intent to expose it to a third-party consumer of our API.
