Using Glitch and the Astra Data API

In this blog post, the author continues developing an ordering application for Better Botz using Node.js, Express backend server, and DataStax Astra database. They use Glitch to expedite development and create a copy of the project by remixing it. The secure connect bundle is moved to a hidden directory for security purposes. An authorization token is created using cURL commands and the Astra Data API. The orders table is updated with a quantity column, and data is added to the table using update rows endpoint of the DataStax Astra API. Shipping table is created in the database using add table endpoint. Finally, the Express server is started with the included Jade templates, and data retrieval endpoints are tested. In the next post, CRUD operations will be developed for managing data in and out of tables.
