This is a question from one of you guys that I thought I'd answer in its own video since its loaded.  Q/A - Shark Beak I currently have the same setup for my side project. What do you think about having a 'create table if not exist' running on startup that creates this table? Good/bad?    It is always a good idea to have a specific database user for each route with specific permissions and use connection pooling as much as possible.
