Dockerized Books API
A streamlined RESTful API for book management built with modern web technologies. This project demonstrates containerization best practices and microservice architecture principles.
Technology Stack
- Backend: Node.js with Express.js framework
- Database: MongoDB for flexible document storage
- Containerization: Docker with multi-container orchestration via Docker Compose
- Data Persistence: Implemented through Docker volumes
- Logging: Morgan middleware for comprehensive request tracking
Key Features
- Complete CRUD functionality for book resource management
- Auto-initialization with seed data for immediate testing
- Mongoose schemas for consistent data validation
- Containerized architecture ensuring consistent deployment across environments
- Health check endpoint for monitoring service status
This microservice-based architecture showcases my ability to create production-ready, scalable backend systems using industry-standard containerization practices. The implementation emphasizes clean separation of concerns, data persistence, and service reliability.
