API documentation and authentication flow overview
About This Project
This Express API project provides a production-ready foundation for modern web applications requiring authentication, authorization, and secure data access. Built with TypeScript and MongoDB, it includes JWT-based authentication, request validation, role-based access control, and rate limiting to protect against abuse. The architecture separates controllers, services, and database logic to improve maintainability and scalability as new features are added. Error handling, logging, and environment-based configuration are built into the project from the start, making it suitable for both learning and real-world deployments. The API serves as a reusable backend template that can accelerate development for future SaaS and client projects.
