Back End

• Node.js: A JavaScript runtime environment for server-side development.
• Express.js: A web application framework for Node.js used for building RESTful APIs.
• PostgreSQL: A powerful, open-source relational database system.
• RESTful API: Used for communication between the front end and back end, following REST architectural principles.

Deployment and Infrastructure

• Amazon Web Services (AWS): Cloud computing platform for hosting the application.
• Terraform: Infrastructure as code tool used for provisioning and managing AWS resources.
• Docker: Containerization platform for packaging the application and its dependencies.

Features
