ABOUT THE BOOK

Build your next app on strong foundations. Postgres combines the power of the relational model with advanced features like blazing-fast querying on JSON data, publish/subscribe and result streaming. You’ll learn how to use NodeJS’s module eco-system with Postgres to build reliable, high-performance backends quickly.
