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.
