#1 about 2 min

Building serverless REST and GraphQL APIs for COVID-19 data

Building responsive serverless dashboards requires aggregating raw external metrics into scalable database architectures.

#2 about 9 min

Analyzing inconsistencies in the COVID-19 daily reports dataset

Inspecting raw CSV exports reveals inconsistent data structures that complicate deterministic database ingestion.

#3 about 6 min

Structuring geographic time series data into consistent database schemas

Transforming time series datasets with geographic granularity simplifies complex date-based queries in the database.

#4 about 6 min

Transforming datasets using Python scripts and aggregation pipeline queries

Applying Python transformation scripts to raw imports computes required daily metrics for the application database.

#5 about 6 min

Deploying a database cluster and setting up MongoDB Realm

Provisioning database clusters using managed cloud environments simplifies deployment architectures and subsequent application connections.

#6 about 3 min

Generating dataset access rules and schemas for GraphQL APIs

Defining explicit role-based access rules and automated data schemas exposes internal collections safely to flexible GraphQL endpoints.

#7 about 5 min

Securing endpoint environments using anonymous and email authentication tokens

Generating user access tokens via backend authentication providers creates safe querying environments for public application interfaces.

#8 about 6 min

Building a public REST API webhook with HTTP services

Configuring backend webhook functions enables flexible document retrieval directly from standard HTTP request payloads.

#9 about 3 min

Environmental benefits and carbon efficiency of serverless cloud platforms

Operating shared serverless database clusters minimizes system idle time and reduces the overall computing carbon footprint.

#10 about 5 min

Managing schema migrations and structural changes in document databases

Relying on flexible record structures in document databases enables continuous deployment without requiring disruptive table migrations.
