▶  Node.js: The Documentary (An Origin Story) — Late last year, Honeypot released a Ruby on Rails documentary – now they’re back tackling Node. It’s an hour long, but covers the early history of Node particularly well. If you weren’t deep into the Node world in 2009-2015, this is is a fantastic way to get up to speed and flows really well.

▶  Setting up an Express.js App with TypeScript in 2024 — This hour-long video doesn’t focus on building an Express.js app itself, but on getting everything set up and working in a very clear, easy to follow way with a variety of modern DX niceties.

▶  Drizzle ORM Explained in 100 Seconds — The latest bitesize video from the always educational Fireship channel covers Drizzle ORM, a fast, TypeScript-based way to work with a variety of database systems across numerous JavaScript platforms, from Node to Bun, Deno Deploy, Supabase Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and more. If you need more, there’s ▶️ a 13 minute ‘crash course’ to learning Drizzle, too.

▶  A Step-by-Step Tutorial on Deploying Node.js Apps on AWS EC2 — Taking the manual, 'do it all by hand' approach. A good way to learn about all the pieces involved before automating it, perhaps.
