• Manage user authentication and authorization
• Organize tasks with categories and priorities
• Track task completion status

⚙️ Tech Stack

• Backend Framework: Node.js with Express
• API: GraphQL with Apollo Server
• Database: PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM
• Authentication: JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
• Testing: Jest
• Containerization: Docker
• Language: TypeScript

🔋 Features

👉 GraphQL API: Flexible and efficient data querying with Apollo Server
