Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to use Node.js to develop scripts that can run on a server. We also learned how to create containers with Docker, and how MongoDB works and can be interfaced with. At the end of this chapter, we even successfully created our first simple backend service using Node.js and MongoDB!
In the next chapter, Chapter 3, Implementing a Backend Using Express, Mongoose ODM, and Jest, we are going to learn how to put together what we learned in this chapter to extend our simple backend service to a production-ready backend for a blog application.
