A backend architecture built with Node.js and Express.js, following a modular and layered approach. It begins with client requests via HTTP/HTTPS, routed through Express.js where middleware like JWT and Helmet handle authentication and security. The requests are then processed by controllers in Node.js, which delegate tasks to the service layer for custom business logic. Services leverage utilities such as Bcrypt.js for hashing and Nodemailer for sending emails. Data operations are managed through models using Sequelize or Knex, which interact with a PostgreSQL database, ensuring efficient and secure data handling.
