Close Encounters of the Data Kind: Exploring UFO Sightings with MongoDB and NextJS
summary
25 minutes of live demo shows a NextJS React app that reads UFO encounter documents from MongoDB, queries with MongoDB Compass, returns a limit of 30 results, and renders cards with Material UI. Deployment targets DigitalOcean App Platform (managed database, GPU droplets mentioned) and a live deploy attempt fails while the LocalHost demo works. The repo is public, the code uses getServerSideProps and TypeScript, and the dataset includes classic cases like Roswell and the Ariel School.
