How to run node.js with MongoDB

Node.js and MongoDB are increasingly popular choices for developers building web applications, offering scalability, speed, and ease of use, especially when used in MEAN or MERN stacks. Node.js serves as a JavaScript runtime environment that excels in handling asynchronous operations, allowing for efficient multitasking on the server side. MongoDB complements this by providing a non-relational database solution that stores data in JSON-like documents, enhancing agility and scalability. This tutorial illustrates how to set up Node.js and MongoDB, install necessary packages using npm, and perform CRUD operations, such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting documents in MongoDB. The guide emphasizes the simplicity of integrating these technologies, with practical examples of inserting and managing data, while also suggesting the potential for further development by adding a frontend and using Express.js to enhance user experience in web applications.
