Full Stack Mastery – Working on Node JS/Express Auth APIs

In today’s fast-paced world, mastering full stack development is essential for stayig ahead in the tech industry. One of the key aspects of full stack development is working on Node JS/Express Auth APIs. In this 30 minute tutorial, we will dive into the basics of Node JS and microservices, and explore how to build secure authentication APIs using Express.

What is Node JS?

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build scalable and high-performance applications. It is built on the V8 JavaScript engine and provides an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js is commonly used for building server-side applications and has become a popular choice for building APIs and microservices.

What are microservices?

Microservices architecture is a way of designing software applications as independent, small services that work together to form a complete application. Each microservice is responsible for a single function or feature and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach allows for better flexibility, scalability, and resilience in modern applications.

Building Auth APIs with Node JS/Express

Now that we have a basic understanding of Node.js and microservices, let’s dive into building authentication APIs using Express. Express is a popular web application framework for Node.js and is used to build web servers and APIs. We will explore how to create routes for user authentication, implement secure password hashing, and use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of how to work with Node JS and Express to build secure authentication APIs, a crucial skill for any full stack developer.
