Deno is a modern and secure runtime for JavaScript. It was created by the same team that created Node.js. Deno offers better performance, security, and simplicity than any other JavaScript runtime.

In this course, you will start by understanding the different technologies used in Deno, such as Typescript. You will compare these technologies with JavaScript and GraphQL as well as learn their terminologies. Then, you will create your own endpoint with Deno and configure queries and mutations in it. Next, you will explore two different databases with Deno: first, you’ll learn how to set up an SQL database using PostgresSQL and then how to configure a NoSQL database using MongoDB to store documents and collections of on-demand data. Finally, you’ll put everything together to have a fully functioning GraphQL endpoint made with Deno and backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB. 

After this course, you’ll be able to create a Deno application and a GraphQL endpoint while having a database of your choice to store data.
