The backend includes RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) authorization and utilizes JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure user authentication.

Technologies Used

• Golang: The backend server is implemented in Golang, a statically typed programming language known for its simplicity and performance.
• PostgreSQL: The database management system used for storing and managing application data.
• Nginx: A web server used for reverse proxying and serving static files.
• RBAC Authorization: Role-Based Access Control is implemented to manage user access rights and permissions.
• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): JWT is used for secure authentication and authorization.
