#7 Connect Node.js to PostgreSQL with pg-promise

In this video, we connect a Node.js application to our local PostgreSQL database using pg-promise and environment variables with .env. We also use Codex inside VS Code to help generate database connection code, seed scripts, test queries, and npm run commands to interact with the database. This is the point where our development environment starts becoming a real backend application workflow. What You'll Learn - How to install pg-promise - How to use .env files for database credentials - How to connect Node.js to PostgreSQL - How to create seed scripts - How to run database scripts with npm commands - Using Codex to assist with backend development This is part of the LetsVibeCode beginner developer setup and backend series where we build real development workflows using: - WSL/Linux - VS Code - Node.js - PostgreSQL - DBeaver - AI-assisted coding with Codex Coming Next - Git and GitHub setup - Building apps with Node.js - Full-stack app development - Real-world coding workflows with AI tools 🌐 AppSolo: https://www.appsolotech.com/ #NodeJS #PostgreSQL #pgPromise #JavaScript #BackendDevelopment #Programming #Coding #LetsVibeCode #WebDevelopment #DeveloperSetup
