I got a request at work to create an SMTP server so that our website can sent automatic emails on daily/weekly basis. In simple - we have a website running on node.js and I need to give it an ability to automatically send emails based on time or/and other conditions.
Since I never worked in this direction (and I just got into this field) I decided to ask a question here, to see what you(experts) have to say in regards of this subject.
p.s I might have a wrong understanding of how this should run, so feel free to correct anything that I said.
Since setting up a brand new smtp server and managing correct configuration, security, and most important, domain/ip reputation can be a real pain, I would suggest using a cloud service for this task to get you going faster.
A few of these services, some of them with free tiers are Amazon SMS, Mailgun, SendGrid and Mandrill. At least Mailgun has a API wrapper available for Node.JS.

I generally install mongo on an ec2 instance .
But i came across many other methods on hosting a mongodb server in aws.
I am looking to learn the most effective way to do this. Thanks in advance.
This is just an educational question.
My recommendation is to use the mongoatlas service, they have several plans but they carry out a full deployment of your database with automatic backups, metrics, access and permission management, availability, set replicas, autoscaling, etc...
Finally they also use amazon to host their databases and it is an official service of mongodb.

The downside to using a simple amazon instance is to implement all of that and without a good backup procedure you could lose all your data if your instance dies.

I'm looking to implement end-to-end encryption for messages sent between users in my Laravel app. I want to encrypt these messages in a way that they are only viewable by the sender and receiver (just like in secure messaging apps like WhatsApp). No one else can read them, including admins or dbas.
How would I go about doing this?
I should also mention that the messages will be sent through the browser to the server by a JavaScript AJAX request and pushed to the other user by Node.js / socket.io setup.
Would be helpful if you have posted some examples that you have tried. Here are the steps that you can follow to achieve it.
Step 1. You will have to establish a private chat between Client and server. An example can be seen here: Creating a private chat between a key using a node.js and socket.io
Step 2. Add encryption/decryption logic for the messages at Client side. Here is a logic for the same: https://github.com/sytelus/CryptoJS

I am new to web development. I want to develop the front page of my website through which users can enter their username and password and login to their accounts. How should I accomplish that?
You can try to make your own implementation but there are a lot of security risks to worry about. Particularly things like SQL Injection. There are frameworks you can use to implement login pages that take care of the security for you. You just need to find the one that works best for you. Zend Framework is one example of a PHP compatible framework that does authentication.
Here is a decent starting point if you really want to write your own log-in/out routines..

All that is lacking on that page is the layout of the database.

I am very new to web technologies. I don't even know what keywords to search with, so please bear with me.
I want to make a hybrid web app. The user visits the site and gets a login prompt to verify his/her identity via facebook.
When the use logs in correctly, they are allowed to query the database on my website. If the login fails, they cannot query my database.
I do not want any heavy duty SDKs or special purpose libraries. Is there a shortcut, lightweight implementation?
thank you for the help!
I see that you have tagged it as javascript, so i would suggest you t go through this official Facebook tutorial : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web/v2.2
Once the user is done with this, you just need to allow the user to query your database.
P.S. - For a more appropriate answer in regards to the later section, you need to put forward a more "to the point" question.

Is there secure way to create secure users accounts within just Html5,JavaScript or jquery without having to using mysql server?i'm trying to setup restriction so only the people who are registered will have access the others will have to option to sign up where i could add the users manually without having them to register any help will be appreciated thank you.
The only place that client side technologies can store data is in the browser. That means:
Data won't be shared between users of different browsers
Anyone with access to the browser can edit the data
You need to use a server side technology. There are plenty of options which use JavaScript, of which Node.js is currently popular, for the language, and plenty of databases that aren't MySQL so you can achieve what you ask for (although probably not what you want).
