Really helpful article – especially the part about using hooks to keep controllers lean. I'm curious: do you ever run into performance issues with bcrypt in pre-save hooks when bulk-updating many users at once?

Good reminder that production-ready Mongoose models aren’t just schemas—they need proper hooks, secure password hashing with bcrypt, and token handling with JSON Web Token to actually be safe and scalable in real apps.
