In order to host a database, Heroku uses MongoDB's mLab. As usual I thought why not write a blog about it. As of today, all the endpoints are working with the newly implemented logic to work with the database. So that's that, I finally made the move to a DB. I had time and I thought it would be better if I would do that since I'm also thinking about moving away from github pages and buying my own domain (not sure). So now I thought, why not use a database for my personal page as well. Surprisingly, the process to use it was really simple and as usual I used it with Heroku (I might write about that later in a different post). I ended up using neo4j as my backends graphDB. I put some thought on it and researched a bit. I initially did not put much thought on it, however people suggested that I use a graph database for that problem, it would blend in perfectly for my situation. In that, I came through a problem of using a database in order to store the data of the users. I recently was working on a project with some of my friends, it was for a Hackathon I participated in. I thought it would be a lot of hassle considering that my backend is present on Heroku and the frontend is hosted using Github Pages, I was wrong. I have been running away from using a proper Database for my personal page for a while.
