I started learning backend development recently so I decided to build a simple todo app with Express, to get my head around the basic concepts.
This was when I no longer felt the need to continue learning new frontend techniques and to dive a bit into the infrastructure side of things.
Features (so far):
- Authentication, Oauth
- RESTful apis built entirely with Express to handle CRUD functionality and database interactions
Usage:
- Clone the repo
- TBD…
Tech Stack:
- Reactjs
- Shadcn
- Express
- Postgres
- Drizzle ORM
What I learned building this project:
- Linking Frontend and Backend
- How low level authentication works
- Linking a backend to a database
- What a reverse proxy is
- General REST apis structure and functionality
- TBD…
