Basic Description

This is a simple RESTful API built with Node.js that allows for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations on a "user" entity. Developed for learning purposes as a task of the RS-school Node.js course.

Details of Implementation

• Using a TDD approach, tests were written first and then the code was written to pass those tests.
• The server is built using the native Node.js HTTP module.
• The database is an in-memory implementation.
• The API can be horizontally scaled using the Node.js cluster module for improved performance.
• Tests include both unit and integration tests, using Jest.
• TypeScript is used as the primary language.
