Picture your Node.js app starts to slow down as it gets bombarded with user requests. It’s like a traffic jam for your app, and no developer likes dealing with that.
Rendering Patterns: Static and Dynamic Rendering in Nextjs
Next.js is popular for its seamless support of static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR), which offers developers the flexibility to choose the most appropriate rendering method for each application page. Traditionally, Next.js utilized functions like getStaticProps, getStaticPaths, and getServerSideProps to manage how pages are rendered. Depending on the data requirements, these functions determine whether a page should be generated at build time or on each server request.
Profiling Tools and Techniques for Node.js Applications
A well-optimized Node.js application not only ensures a smoother user experience but also scales effectively to meet demand.
Forget About Auth0: Implementing Authentication with Clerk.dev in Your Next.js App
Clerk.dev is more than just an authentication tool; it’s a comprehensive platform designed to simplify and enhance user management and security in web applications. With a focus on developer experience and application flexibility, Clerk.dev emerges as a robust alternative to more traditional solutions like Auth0.

Mastering JavaScript Proxies: Practical Use Cases and Real-World Applications
This article will briefly revisit the concept of JavaScript Proxies and their purpose. We will then dive into a series of practical use cases, providing detailed code examples and clear explanations along the way. By the end of this journey, you should have a comprehensive understanding of how Proxies can be used to solve various problems and optimize your applications.
Exploring the Power of JavaScript Proxies and Reflect API
Over the past four years, I’ve gained extensive experience building products with Expressjs, Vue.js and React. As I delved deeper into these frameworks, I uncovered fascinating implementation details hidden beneath the surface. For instance, Vue 3’s reactivity system relies on Proxies instead of Object.defineProperty() used in Vue 2, while React employs Proxies in implementing the Virtual DOM.
Using SWR for Efficient Data Fetching in Next.js Applications
It is common to see Next.js applications that make use of client-side data fetching. The challenge with this technique of data fetching is that you have to render data based on user interaction, which can lead to several issues if not handled properly.
Learn how to deploy an ML model to the web
I’ve worked as a web developer for a while, and most times, I’m amazed at how web apps such as Facebook and Instagram are able to detect and recognize objects in images. I reckon a machine learning model like MobileNet makes this possible, but how do you deploy this model to the web?
How to mock a Sequelize database
Sequelize is a powerful Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Node.js that allows developers to interact with databases using JavaScript. It provides a simple and elegant way to define and manipulate data models that map to relational database tables.
Handling GraphQL API Authentication using Auth0 with Hasura Actions
In this article, we’re going to demonstrate how we can set up Authentication/Authorization with Hasura and Auth0. First, we’ll set up the Auth0 application, API, and rules.
