NETLIFY SERVERLESS

A serverless Backend application developed with Express.js and deployed 🚀 in Netlify functions.

Interested in the project? Please visit my website

It is a good software engineering practice to separate portions of your code function to work independently of other parts. Since your codes are made up of functions basically, serverless functions allow you to deploy those functions without the complexity of managing a server to run them (Olutunmbi Banto, 2020). This repository was created as part of a Big Data project in which services must be consumed from a database made in MondoDB with the historical information of the flights of US airlines. The APIs will be consumed by a SimpleMongoCRUD Frontend developed in Angular.
