Introduction to Node.js

Introduction

Recently, I organised a “Bits & Bites” session, introducing my colleagues to Node.js, Express and MongoDB. At SynTouch, we regularly have knowledge sharing sessions and workshops. Usually they are held late afternoon at a central location and include dinner, hence the name “Bits & Bites”! The reason I have chosen this specific subject has to do both with past as well as current interests.

My first experience with Oracle API Platform Cloud Service – part 2

In the second part of this two part blog post, I will describe the actual creation of the API definition in API Platform Cloud Service (shortened to APIPCS), the service callout to an external microservice (conveniently located in the Oracle Application Container Cloud Service) using a custom Groovy script policy and testing the flow created. The first part discussed the use case for which we used Oracle API Platform Cloud Service (shortened to APIPCS from now on) as an outbound API Gateway, offering lookup services and centralizing outbound access. This part also described a simple Node.js microservice we created to perform the translation of an internal identification into the API key required by the external API.

First steps in Cloud-based JS development

Some time ago, while working on a proof of concept using an Oracle API product, I got exposed to server-side JavaScript programming. Or more accurately, programming Web APIs using the Node.js platform and the Express Framework (possibly I will elaborate on this experience later, after this product has been publicly released).
