mysql free deployment platforms
I am working on a personal chat-app project with no intentions for it to be a production app (maybe in the far future not so sure ) I am gonna use mysql with prisma , node js , socket io for the backend. I have researched for platforms to deploy my
mysql database however pretty much every platform i came across didn't have a free plan , I have no intention to spend money on this project it's only for my portfolio here are the platforms i have seen : plantscale , render , railway , awardspace and some other platforms that i don't remember10 replies

does the interviewer (technical interviewer) or dev responsible for hiring review your projects code
I am refactoring an old project it's an ecommerce project i didn't have the option to view the product in a seprate page so i wanted to add that option , I have my products stored in an Array in firebase now that i understand firebase more i learned that i can't use it's querying capabilities to filter my results instead of having to loop over the whole Array to get the item i want it's a total of 226 items i know that if i add more products it will effect performance later there is two choices either i restructure my database again which will be a pain the ass for me or i can just work with the current structure the question is given that option 1 this is not the best approach i am worried that if an employer or developer sees that implementation that would discourage them from hiring me plus does the developer who hires you even bother to look at your code

which method is better for authentication
i am building an app using mysql , next js , nodejs-express , socket io i am currently in the phase of authentication and registering users in my database with all of their info (email,username,password etc..) the question is do i just encrypt users password in my database when they register into my App or do i use an authentication solution , the registeration data will be sent to the express server where the insertion process will take place in my database when the user sign in i am planning to use jwt with cookies probably or do i use an authentication solution this is my first time building a fullstack app .

do i create a sepreate notification and user_notifications table in my database
I am working on a chat app using prisma and mysql here are some details my app it will include rooms where users can join like servers in discord you can add friends to the room , create your own room kinda like discord, i am currently in the phase of structuring my database , i am currently structuring the notifications , i am a bit struggling on how to go about my notifications structure in the database my chat app will have friend request notifications and other types of notifications i thought i can just create a table for notifications now what if there is a 100 users let's say 50 of them send friend requests to the other 50 i would have like 50 records or something in the notifications table , what if the room admin (owner) sends a friend request to all members of the room again we will have like x amount of records for each notification the admin sends to the users in the table i thought the notifcations should be sent to the
room_id and the users that joined the room with that room id should have that notification but there is problem we still need to have records with the notification for these users do i have all these notifications records in one table or do I create a table for all notifications in the App and a sepreate one for user_notifications that will have the notifications for each users ?2 replies

how do developers learn from the docs ?
i have been in the web dev field for about 2 + years when i want to learn a technology node js for example i would get a course or read a book every time i try to learn from the docs i would find it almost impossible to implement anything i learned in a real world app or even build one ,the docs doesn't explain how to use that knowledge in a real world app or even give examples on how to do so i wonder how do other devs who make the courses or the books know how to build apps and do stuff just learning from docs ?
