Would you consider doing an addendum that uses PostgreSQL instead of MongoDB?

I've been looking for something exactly like your book, but I need to use a SQL database.

I can't promise since I don't know how much time it would take. I plan to start partially re-writing our first book (Build Book) later this month plus a new feature for Async. So no time really in the near future.

Is `sequelize` a good library to use for PostgresSQL?

It is a big pain in the butt but it is definitely the standard/most popular. I can't imagine boilerplate using another ORM.

heard of typeORM?

Actually hadn't heard of it. It has about half the downloads of sequelize but really nice to hear there's a popular alternative. Will check it out for the next project.

You could use Knex.js but it's not an ORM. TypeORM is the go-to from what I hear (I don't use ORMs).
