Description

This full-stack tech blog uses MySQL2, Sequelize, Express, and Node.js to enable users to create accounts, log in/out, and post comments. It features RESTful APIs, Express Handlebars, and session management for a secure, interactive experience.

Features

1. Object-Relational Mapping Sequelize provides a seamless bridge between your JavaScript application and SQL databases, allowing you to interact with the database using JavaScript objects instead of raw SQL queries. This abstraction simplifies database operations and enhances code readability.

2. Database Abstraction With Sequelize, you can work with various SQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MSSQL, without having to write database-specific code. This flexibility enables you to switch between databases effortlessly, adapting to the specific needs of your project.

3. Model Definitions Define your data models using JavaScript classes, representing tables in your database. Sequelize translates these models into database tables, streamlining the creation and management of your database schema.

4. Migration Support Sequelize supports database migrations, allowing you to version control your database schema changes. This feature is crucial for managing database evolution in a collaborative development environment.
