Node API & MySQL Setup

I have a completed Node.js backend API sitting on my local machine that now needs to live on a server. I’m looking for someone who can:

• Upload the existing codebase, install its dependencies, and configure the runtime environment (Node, npm, any required process manager like PM2).
• Spin up a fresh MySQL instance, build the database structure I’ll provide (tables, indexes, sample data), and make sure the API connects cleanly via the current configuration file.
• Run a quick round of endpoint tests with me to confirm data is flowing and responses match the expected JSON.

No authentication layer is required right now, so you can ignore JWT, OAuth, or similar modules. If you prefer Docker, CI/CD pipelines, or Sequelize/TypeORM migrations, feel free to propose the approach—you’ll have SSH and console access as needed.

Acceptance criteria: the API runs without errors, all routes return 200 status against the new MySQL database, and I can see the data reflected inside phpMyAdmin or a similar client.

If this sounds straightforward for you, let’s get it done.
