What is data storage solution for app hosted in nodester?

[Mo Cheng]

Hi,

I'm new to nodester. It is sweat! 

But, I soon find that, without database, my app cannot do anything valuable. So, what's solution for app on nodester to store persistent data?

Thanks,

You will need an external database. Mongolab.com gives you 240megs of
free space for a mongodb database. Install mongoose via npm and open
an account on mongolab. Once you create your database you will see a
connect string to use for mongoose.connect. Works fine with nodester.

e.g.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://
username:pass...@ds029807.mongolab.com:29807/your_database_name');

// define model
// create a record and do something.

FWIW, I'm using a NoSQL/GraphDB called Dydra [1] - usage see in [2].
