Integrating GraphQL with React using AWS AppSync

In this comprehensive tutorial, we’ll explore the process of integrating a GraphQL API with a React.js application using AWS AppSync. GraphQL is a powerful query language that allows clients to request only the data they need, while AWS AppSync provides a managed GraphQL service, making it easy to build scalable and real-time applications. By combining these technologies with React.js, we can create efficient and flexible web applications. This guide is suitable for beginners, providing step-by-step instructions and explanations.

How to do Web Scraping using NodeJS: Extract Wikipedia Data with Cheerio.

Web scraping is a powerful technique for programmatically gathering data from websites. It’s particularly useful for extracting structured data from web pages, such as tables, lists, and paragraphs. In this article, we’ll explore how to scrape a table from Wikipedia using Node.js, focusing on the “Wikipedia:About” page as our example. We’ll use two popular Node.js libraries: axios for making HTTP requests and cheerio for parsing HTML and traversing the DOM.

Implementing Multi Tenancy with Firebase: A Step-by-Step Guide

Multitenancy is a crucial architectural concept that allows a single instance of software to serve multiple clients (tenants), each with their own isolated data and configurations.

How to use nested graphql queries and its advantages and disadvantages.

GraphQL stands out as a modern query language developed by Facebook for making API calls. It allows clients to request exactly what they need and nothing more, making it a powerful alternative to traditional REST APIs. Unlike REST, which requires loading from multiple URLs, GraphQL enables developers to get all the data they need in a single request, significantly improving performance, especially for complex systems with interrelated data. This capability is particularly beneficial in applications where network performance is critical.

How to Handle asynchronous operations with async/await in React JS

Handling asynchronous operations in React with async/await syntax allows for cleaner and more readable code, especially when dealing with promises like fetching data from an API or performing any time-consuming task in the background.
