Express CRUD API with Load Balancing and Redis

Welcome to the Express CRUD API project! This project provides a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API built using Express.js. The API allows you to perform operations such as adding new users, updating existing users, finding all users, finding a user by ID, and deleting a user by ID. Additionally, the project leverages the cluster module for load balancing, ensuring scalability and improved performance. TypeScript is used for type checking to catch potential errors during development, resulting in a more robust codebase with fewer runtime errors in production.

Features

• Load Balancing: Utilizes the cluster module for load balancing, distributing incoming requests across multiple processes to enhance performance and scalability.
• TypeScript: Implements TypeScript to provide static typing, reducing the likelihood of runtime errors and improving code maintainability.
• In-Memory Database: Utilizes Redis as an in-memory database to store data and maintain server state, ensuring efficient data access and retrieval.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed before running the project:

• Node.js
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Redis

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/toshits/Baxture-Assignment.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Baxture-Assignment

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

To start the application in development:

npm run start:dev

To start the application in production without load balancer:

npm run start:prod

To start the application in production with load balancer:

npm run start:multi

Note: Before running the server, make sure to set up the .env file using the provided .env.example file to ensure a smooth and error-free startup.
