• CRUD operations with MongoDB database locally and on the Atlas(cloud) platform
• MongoDB geospatial queries, aggregation pipeline, and operations
• Advanced Mongoose features: modeling geospatial data, populates, virtual populates, and indexes.
• Relationships between data, embedding and referencing.
• Complete modern authentication with JWT: user sign up, log in, password reset, secure cookies, etc.
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript website modeling
• PUG rendering
• Uploading files and image processing
• Sending emails with Mailtrap and Sendgrid
