☕️ Code & Coffee - MERN time

Lately, I’ve been struggling to host one of my projects on cPanel.

cPanel isn’t really Node-friendly by default. It’s built mainly for PHP, so anything related to Node.js already comes with friction.

In my case, I was working with React + Node + Prisma. Prisma turned out to be tricky on cPanel the installation needs relatively high RAM, and that forced me to switch my ORM to Sequelize.

That experience pushed me to compare Prisma vs Sequelize, and here’s a simple takeaway that might help you choose 👇

✅ Choose Prisma if:

You use TypeScript
You want speed, type safety, and clean code
You’re building modern APIs (Next.js, NestJS)
You care a lot about developer experience (DX)

✅ Choose Sequelize if:

You’re strong in SQL
You need complex or highly customized queries
You’re maintaining a legacy project
You want the flexibility of ORM plus raw SQL

Hope this helps someone

☕️ Code & Coffee - backend time

Client-side or Server-side filtering? 🤔 Let’s break it down

Building a data-heavy app and not sure where filtering should live?
👉 Client-side filtering
- Super fast
- Great for small, stable datasets
- Simple filters, instant UI response

👉 Server-side filtering
- Handles large & dynamic data
- More secure and scalable
- Perfect for complex queries

Tip: Most real apps use a hybrid approach client-side for quick interactions, server-side for heavy lifting.

What do you usually use in your projects client, server, or both? 👇

Some people have mastered formal writing long before ChatGPT existed. I find this article fascinating. link

I now know why the server is fast these days. W the backend guy 👌
