Summary

Boosting JavaScript: From MongoDB's shell to Node.js` is an article about moving scripts from MongoDB's JavaScript-powered shell to Node.js, offering a chance to utilize an enormous range of tools and libraries. The author provides a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this with minimal extra lines of code, including using the `mongodb` native driver and `yargs.js` for handling arguments, and implementing asynchronous programming with `await`. The article also touches upon optimizing the script to make it more efficient, such as waiting for each inserted document to complete before moving on to the next one.
