Writing a Micro Services based system requires different tools than creating a monolith, one of which is the message queue. In today’s experiment I took a quick tour of RabbitMQ and learned how to use it to pass messages between two services.

This week I decided to play with the well known and mostly loved MobX library. I worked on projects that used MobX before and was usually able to make the modifications I needed in the project, but until now I didn’t spend the time to read its documentation and understand its use cases.

Knex.JS, according to their documentation, is a betteries included SQL Builder. I had the pleasure to work with this library in a recent project and really liked it: The code felt easier to write in comparison to traditional ORMs, provided you know your SQL. In order to better explain to myself and to the world what that means I decided to solve 14 non trivial SQL exercises with it. I hope by the time you’ll finish reading this post you too will have a solid understanding of the main concepts behind this library and its real world usage.
