Build a Blog Aggregator in Typescript

Build a blog aggregator microservice in TypeScript. Put your API, database, and web scraping skills to the test.

Also available in:

go

What will you learn?

In this guided project you'll practice building a CLI in TypeScript, and you'll use production-ready database tools like PostgreSQL and Drizzle. This won't just be another CLI utility, but a service that has a long-running service worker that reaches out over the internet to fetch data from remote locations.

Chapter List

1
Config
Build a system for the CLI tool that allows users to get and set configuration values
2
Database
Set up Postgres and drizzle to allow your CLI application to store and retrieve data.
3
RSS
Build functions that will download and parse data from RSS feeds
4
Following
Add to the multiplayer features of the project by allowing users to follow other RSS feeds
5
Aggregate
Turn your CLI into a long running service that continously aggregates posts from RSS feeds.

This project is a great into to using PostgreSQL with an ORM through TypeScript. It's also a nice base to extend on your own with additional features.

Knowing how to navigate a database, and scrape the web is quite essential for any back-end engineer, I recommend taking this course to everyone!

This project was extremely helpful and gave me the chance to work on a real-world project. Building a Blog Aggregator in TypeScript helped me practice TypeScript, work with PostgreSQL, and understand how to structure a CLI application. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to apply what they learn in a practical way.
