In this chapter, we will cover how to use CoffeeScript to perform common create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations against a variety of data storage options.

We will use Node modules to facilitate our database connections and CRUD operations. As with most open source software, there are often times a number of modules that we can use for any given database platform. We will use a single module for each platform, selecting the particular module based on its popularity and ease of use. You may want to investigate other available options for the database platform you are using to see if there is a module that works better for you.
