Secure sessions are easy, but not very well documented.  
Here's a recipe for secure sessions in Node.js when NginX is used as an SSL proxy:

The desired configuration for using NginX as an SSL proxy is to offload SSL processing 
and to put a hardened web server in front of your Node.js application, like:

[NODE.JS APP] <- HTTP -> [NginX] <- HTTPS -> [PUBLIC INTERNET] <-> [CLIENT]

Edit for express 4.X and >:  Express no longer uses Connect as its middleware framework, it implements its own now.

Batched updates in Firestore

This short script shows how to do a batched update of a very large data set in firestore.

The scenario is I have a large set of products, and a 'pool' of product codes that need to be assigned to them. This script loads the list of UPC codes from a firebase database, then updates a firestore collection, updating every doc with a UPC code. For each product, the next code docID is assigned (so it's reall a pointer to the code, not the code itself), then the code is updated to signify that is has been assigned.
