In continuity to this tutorial I would suggest that a set of videos showing how to deal with persistent data would be ideal. Most people can learn how to create the API URIs, but the real deal is when it is for a developer to manage to records to a Database. That's MySQL for example and not Firebase which happens to be more simplified. Also, an example from various programming languages should help a ton of people to move things forward.

I have a suggestion... recently I was in a big project and I was confused as hell. We had many arguments and fights about what folder structure to use for our API: - Where to put validation? - Use validation in express.js way (in the routes like a middleware) or separately? - Where to put routes? - break routes into different files or one single file? If so, break based on what? There are just countless questions to be answered in this regard. The problem also is that nobody makes videos about folder structure for enterprise level applications. It would be great if you could make it a thing.
