Overall seems to work fine - both backends are working correctly with the frontend.
Just a small Q about whether we want to add tests for this functionality. (Probably also applies to the Express backend.)

Should we add tests for this to the test target? Looks like we have both Controller and Service tests there where we may want to consider adding this.

Same Q here - since this is a new route, should we add a test for it in the tests dir?
