File > New Project > API v0.1.0

So, it's 2019 and your boss just told you we need a new API that does CRUD operations as well as a WebSocket server.

Do you reach for Node.js? PHP with Laravel as the ORM, maybe? Definitely go for the library ws if you're going JavaScript. GraphQL! That's the hot new thing!

Requirements

  • Must able to do CRUD operations
  • Serve up JWT tokens for authentication of course
  • Web Socket layer

If your boss told you he'd need an API with the above reqs, how would you build it with today's tools and technology?

Using Featherjs (Node based) or Loopback(IBM owned company) also Node.

Build out from there.

Also First my boss would be turned away at the door for no specs and requriements and a vetted project through PM :D
