|
Node.js • TypeScript • Express • PostgreSQL • Prisma • JWT A production-oriented REST API for managing users and tasks — JWT auth, RBAC, validation, Redis caching, and Docker deployment.
|
Node.js • TypeScript • Express • PostgreSQL • Redis • Docker Users, products, carts, orders and inventory — with database transactions, concurrency handling, and automated tests.
|
|
Node.js • HTTP • JavaScript A raw Node.js HTTP server built without Express — routing, request/response handling, status codes, and error handling from first principles.
