Preface

The increase in web developers relying on JavaScript to build their frontends and backends has been huge in the last few years. This book covers some of the major technologies from Apollo, Express.js, Node.js, and React. We will go through how to set up React and Apollo to run GraphQL requests against your backend built with Node.js and Sequelize. On top of that, we will introduce testing for the components or functions we have written and automate the deployment on AWS ECS with CircleCI. By the end of the book, you will know how to combine the newest frontend and backend technologies.
