Proposed title of article

How To Create Node Express Analytics Dashboard with Cube.js

Introduction paragraph (2-3 paragraphs):

Cube.js solves a plethora of different problems every production-ready analytic application needs to solve: analytic SQL generation, query results caching and execution orchestration, data pre-aggregation, security, API for query results fetch, and visualization. These features allow you to build production-grade analytics applications that are able to handle thousands of concurrent users and billions of data points. They also allow you to do analytics on a production MongoDB read replica or even a MongoDB main node due to their ability to reduce the amount of actual queries issued to a MongoDB instance.

In the following tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a basic analytics dashboard with Node, Express, and Cube.js. As a database, we’re going to use MongoDB with MongoDB BI Connector.

Key takeaways:

  1. How to use MongoDB and BI connector.
  2. Setting up a Backend with Express generator
  3. Setting up and running Cube.js in serverless mode
  4. Building Analytics Dashboard
