Personal note: I love using Javascript as my only language for the entire application(FrontEnd/BackEnd/API/Database). Restify is still in early development but is essentially just an extension of Express. So for anyone needing more stability you can easily just substitute Express in.</p> + +<h3>Node.js</h3> + +<p>"Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."</p> + +<h3>Restify</h3> + +<p>"Restify is a node.js module built specifically to enable you to build correct REST web services. It borrows heavily from express (intentionally) as that is more or less the de facto API for writing web applications on top of node.js."</p> + +<h3>MongoDb</h3> + +<p>"MongoDB (from "humongous") is a scalable, high-performance, open source NoSQL database."</p> + +<h3>Mongoose</h3> + +<p>"Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment."</p> + +<h2>Building the server</h2> + +<p>In the example repository there is a server.js example which can be executed by running <code>node server.js</code>. If you use this example in your own applications make sure to update the Backbone.js <a href="https://github.com/thomasdavis/backbonetutorials/blob/gh-pages/examples/nodejs-mongodb-mongoose-restify/js/models/message.js">Model</a> and <a href="https://github.com/thomasdavis/backbonetutorials/blob/gh-pages/examples/nodejs-mongodb-mongoose-restify/js/collections/messages.js">Collection</a> definitions to match your server address.</p> + +<h2>Restify configuration</h2> + +<p>The first thing to do is require the Restify module.

href="http://backbonetutorials.com/examples/nodejs-mongodb-mongoose-restify/">Example Demo</a></p> + +<p>In this example you should really be using relative url's in your collections/models and instead setting a baseUrl in a config file or by placing your index.html file on the restful server.</p> + +<p>This example is hosted on github therefore we had to include the absolute url to the server which is hosted on nodejitsu.com</p> + +<p>On a personal note, I have of recent used the Joyent, Nodejitsu, MongoDbHq stack after they have now partnered up and I have nothing but good things to say.
