Backend API for Application Data Access

Project Overview:

Implemented a backend API for accessing application data programmatically. It mimics the functionality of a real-world backend service, providing information to the front-end architecture. The database used is PostgreSQL, and interaction with it is done using node-postgres.

Technologies Used:

• Node.js
• Express.js
• PostgreSQL
• node-postgres

Features:

• RESTful API endpoints for accessing application data
• CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for managing data
• Error handling and validation of incoming requests

Architecture:

• Backend server built using Node.js and Express.js framework
• PostgreSQL database for storing application data
• Integration with node-postgres library for database interaction
• RESTful API endpoints for client-server communication

Challenges and Learnings:

• Overcoming challenges in handling asynchronous operations in Node.js
• Learning to design and implement RESTful API endpoints effectively
• Understanding and implementing database transactions for data consistency

Future Improvements:

• Implementing pagination and filtering for large datasets
• Adding support for file uploads and storage (e.g., images, documents)
• Enhancing error handling and logging for better debugging
