• User authentication and authorization using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure access.
• API for handling customer and service data.
• Optionally, API documentation using Swagger for better integration and understanding.
• Integration with MongoDB for storing customer and service-related data.
• Ability to handle form submissions, including the collection of names, emails, and messages from users.

Technology Stack

• Node.js: Backend runtime environment.
• Express.js: Web framework for handling routes and middleware.
• MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing data (optional: MySQL/PostgreSQL).
• JWT: For secure user authentication.
• Mongoose: For interacting with MongoDB database.
• Bcrypt: For hashing passwords and ensuring user data security.
• Nodemailer: For sending email notifications.
