Welcome to the upSkill backend Express server! This server powers the backend functionality of the upSkill courseselling application, which functions similarly to platforms like Udemy. It utilizes various technologies to provide authentication, input validation, database management, schema validation, and routing.
- JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Used for authentication, allowing secure access to protected routes.
- Zod: Employed for input validation, ensuring that incoming data meets defined schemas.
- MongoDB: Used as the database management system for storing application data.
- Mongoose: Utilized for schema validation, ensuring data consistency and integrity within MongoDB.
- Express Router: Employed for routing requests to appropriate endpoints within the application.
