The application includes CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality and features user authorization, login, and logout capabilities. The stack used for development includes HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, Node.js, Express.js, EJS (Embedded JavaScript), and MongoDB Atlas for the database. The application is deployed using the Render platform and integrates CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) practices.
