Lately, I have been working on a backend REST API
using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. My initial go-to for accessing my local
database was the Mongo Shell
and MongoDB Compass
. However, at one point I was working with binary
image data
, and MongoDB Compass
was not able to provide me with the complete binary
data. It was too long for it to handle! It only provided me with a small, initial chunk. And BTW, the binary
data is too long to show up completely in Terminal
as well.
So I switched to Robo 3T
, which IS able to handle binary
image data
. What did I learn from this? Perhaps when working locally
, Robo 3T
is better to use, but when working in production, MongoDB Compass
is better.
I will be embedding this episode of Plugging in The Holes along with a transcript in the form of a post on interglobalmedianetwork.com for your hearing and reading pleasure. Bye for now!
