Developer Support CMS Development

I want to build an application using a backend which is built in a NodeJS/ExpressJS and Frontend with Hubspot CMS. is it a good idea to build.

I want to build a web application, it needs to have a Login/Register system. For now the application will have 3 different roles. role 1 will login and add few product details, and he might relogin to edit the products. for the other roles they have differrent tasks. complexity that I have is different user role set up and securing the DB updates with the roles. The app will communicate very frequently.

Hi, @AbhilashAchu :waving_hand: Welcome to our community! This is a challenging question to answer for you. My suggestion is to clarify the following and then update this post or create a new one:

  • What are you building?
  • What level of complexity are you currently dealing with?
  • Does that level of complexity justify having a strong Separation of Concerns?
  • How frequently your HubSpot app will need to communicate with your NodeJS backend?

Having specific details helps our community understand where and how they can assist.

Have fun building! — Jaycee

Hey AbhilashAchu, diving into NodeJS/ExpressJS for the backend and HubSpot CMS for the frontend is a solid choice! I’ve been down that road before, and it’s a robust combo. For your roles and permissions, consider using a middleware like ‘express-jwt’ for authentication – it’s lightweight and plays well with Node/Express.

Setting up different roles is straightforward, but when it comes to securing DB updates, consider creating specific routes/functions in your Node backend that check the user’s role before processing any DB changes. Keep it simple; don’t overcomplicate.

Since your app will communicate frequently, optimize your API calls. Leverage async/await in Node to manage this elegantly. Also, for the frontend, HubSpot’s CMS is pretty user-friendly. If you’re looking into frontend-entwicklung mit web, HubSpot’s drag-and-drop features can contribute to a smooth UI experience.

Best tip: Keep it simple, build, test, and iterate, good luck.
