Node.js REST API Backend

Our product suite needs a fresh backend layer focused purely on API development. The goal is to expose a clean, well-structured RESTful API written in Node.js that our web and mobile teams can consume immediately.

Scope
• Design and implement the server-side logic in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, following REST conventions.
• Build secure, versioned endpoints that cover authentication, core business operations, and data retrieval.
• Integrate with our existing PostgreSQL database (schema provided) and handle all CRUD operations efficiently.
• Write concise Swagger / OpenAPI documentation so every route is instantly testable by the front-end team.
• Add unit and integration tests to guarantee stability before each deployment.

Acceptance criteria
✔ All listed endpoints return correct status codes and JSON payloads.
✔ Code passes automated test suite with ≥90 % coverage.
✔ Linting (ESLint) and Prettier formatting produce zero warnings.
✔ Documentation builds without errors and mirrors live behaviour.

Source code should be delivered via our private GitHub repository with explanatory commit messages and a one-page deployment guide for our Docker-based staging server.
