Ready to spice up your Node.js applications with some RESTful flavor? Join us for a lively session where we’ll demystify the process of creating endpoints for a MySQL REST service and using JavaScript to access your data, without writing a single line of SQL. We’ll guide you through the essentials of building robust REST APIs, integrating seamlessly with MySQL databases, and performing CRUD operations without direct SQL queries. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started, this talk promises to equip you with the tools and confidence to serve up your own RESTful services.

MySQL Shell is a modern CLI for connecting to, and interacting with, MySQL Instances. But there is so much more!! In this session we will demonstrate some of the cooler, but lesser-known, features of MySQL Shell. These features include, but are not limited to: creating sandbox instances for testing, managing MySQL replication, and dumping data to (and loading data from) a cloud storage bucket.

Long before 'NoSQL' databases became all the rage, developers stored JSON in relational database tables. With the advent of the JSON data type, developers now have a powerful set of functions to update, retrieve, and filter data based on values stored in a JSON blob. In this session, we discuss storing JSON in our database and how the tools in MySQL can make that task a bit easier.
