Node.js VS Deno: Will Deno replace Node.js?

 Once Deno released there were so many questions and speculations related to Deno and Node.js, one of them was is Deno going to replace node.js?

I think Node.js is pretty much mature and well-established technology. Node.js is also incredibly supported by companies and the community. So for sure, Node.js will be around for a while and Deno is not going to replace it overnight.

Since Deno is like a replacement for Node.js, Let's look at some of the similarities between them.

  • Both Deno and Node.js are developed upon the Chromium V8 Engine.
  • Both are built to develop server-side applications.

Let's dig into the differences between them:

  • Node.js is written in C++ and JavaScript. Deno is written in Rust and TypeScript
  • Node.js has a package manager called npm. Deno doesn’t have a package manager and it lets you import modules directly via URL.
  • Node uses the CommonJS syntax for importing packages deno uses modern ECMAScript features in all its API and standard library, while Node.js uses a callbacks-based standard library and has no plans to upgrade it.. Deno uses ES Modules, the official way.
  • Deno offers a sandbox security layer through permissions. A program can only access the permissions set to the executable as flags by the user. A Node.js program can access anything the user can access.

Track stock market information right in your Terminal.

     Introduction: As a developer, I love working with the terminal. The plain, simple, and in my opinion the best way to interact with the computer (also it makes you look geeky). I spent most of my time in the terminal. By now you must have guessed I am a huge fan of the terminal and terminal-based applications. Recently I developed an interest in stock markets and started tracking the stock markets. Since I love working with the terminal I decided to build a terminal oriented application that can help me to track the stock market. Inspir e d by  wttr.in  I build  terminal-stocks  which can provide the stock's current prices, historical prices, and global market summary. How to use terminal-stocks terminal-stocks  is available and can be used without installation. Get the current price of the stock. curl terminal-stocks.dev/ITC.NS Current price of stocks You need to provide the ticker of the stock and terminal-stocks will give you the price information of the stock.  terminal-st

Setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy for Node.js App

Okay.. but what is a reverse proxy? A reverse proxy is a web server that centralizes internal services and provides unified interfaces to the public. Requests from clients are forwarded to a server that can fulfill it before the reverse proxy returns the server’s response to the client. Nginx is a popular choice to use as a reverse proxy for your node.js application. Got it. Now let’s set up Nginx Let’s say your nodejs server is running locally on localhost:3000. We will set up Nginx to get the request and forward the request to our nodejs server. Ins t alling Nginx on ubuntu sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nginx Configure Nginx Disable the default, virtual host unlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default 2. Create a configuration file cd /etc/nginx/sites-available sudo nano reverse-proxy.conf 3. Put the following content in the file server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; access_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/reverse-e

Terraform: Understanding Desired & Current State

In this post, we will learn in detail what is terraform desired and current state. Terraform’s responsibility is to create/update/destroy infrastructure resources to match the desired state as described in the configuration. Desired State: For example: If our desired state is as below resource "aws_instance" "myec2" { ami = "ami-0ca285d4c2cda3300" instance_type = "t2.medium" } This should result in an AWS EC2 t2.medium instance. The code you saw above is the desired state that we want. Current State: The current state is the actual state of a resource that is deployed. For example: If our desired state is as below resource "aws_instance" "myec2" { ami = "ami-0ca285d4c2cda3300" instance_type = "t2.medium" } our desired state is t2.medium instance but let’s say the current instance running is t2.micro. So it means our desired state and the current state is not matching. Try it out
