Learning Repository for NestJS and PostgreSQL

This repository is a learning project that explores the fundamentals and advanced features of NestJS and PostgreSQL. The project also integrates several other technologies and tools to build a full-stack application:

• AWS S3: Handling file uploads and storage, including updating user avatars.
• Docker: Containerizing the application for consistent development and deployment environments.
• Elasticsearch: Implementing powerful search functionality.
• Guards: Securing routes and ensuring proper authorization within the application.

This project is a work in progress, and the main goal is to deepen my understanding of these technologies by building a comprehensive application that incorporates real-world features and practices.
