Introduction
Node.js is widely used for building scalable applications.
Databases help store and manage data efficiently.
SQL and NoSQL databases serve different use cases.
This guide covers setting up and optimizing database
connections.
Why Connect Databases with Node.js?
Ensures persistent and real-time data storage.
Enables structured and flexible data management.
Essential for applications like e-commerce and analytics.
Supports high scalability with non-blocking architecture.
Types of Databases 1
SQL: MySQL, PostgreSQL - Structured and relational.
NoSQL: MongoDB, Firebase - Flexible and schema-less.
In-Memory: Redis - Fast and optimized for caching.
Graph Databases: Neo4j - Best for complex relationships.
Setting Up Database Connectivity
Install required database packages using npm.
Use environment variables for credentials.
Establish a connection and handle errors properly.
Optimize connection pooling for performance.
Connecting to MySQL

Best Practices 1
Always store credentials in environment variables.
Enable connection pooling to manage requests efficiently.
Use proper indexing and query optimization techniques.
Implement input validation to prevent security threats.
Advanced Topics 1
Using ORMs like Sequelize and Mongoose for abstraction.
Implementing caching with Redis to reduce database load.
Database replication and load balancing techniques.
Integrating Firebase for real-time NoSQL applications.
Conclusion
Node.js efficiently connects with SQL & NoSQL databases.
