Welcome to my first backend project, and I'm excited to share it with you.
This project is built using Node.js with Express.js for the server and PostgreSQL for the database.
Unit tests for API routes are implemented using the Jest framework and Supertest library to ensure functionality and proper error handling.
Test coverage in this project is 93%.
