[00:00 - 00:07] We just created a GraphQL API with the help of a poll. However, as you may have noticed, we haven't been able to persist any of the changes we made to our data.
[00:08 - 00:53] That's right, and that's why in this module, we'll use a database to contain any data we want persisted. We're going to set up this database with MongoDB, and we're going to use a database as a service known as Mongo apps. In this module, we'll introduce MongoDB, set up a new database cluster with Mongo Alice, connect our server with our database using the official node Mongo driver. Introduce TypeScript generics to enforce types to our database, create a simple script to help seed our database with some initial data, have our resolver functions process data from our database, And finally, we'll modularize our resolvers.
