Identity Management System Backend

Welcome to the Identity Management System Backend project repository!

This repository houses a robust backend system designed to manage user identities, leveraging modern technologies and a micro-service architecture approach.

Whether integrated within a microservices ecosystem or deployed independently, my Identity Management System (IMS) backend offers a comprehensive solution solely dedicated to user authentication, authorization, and profile management.

Project Synopsis

This project encompasses the development of a backend system using Node.js, Express.js, Mongoose.js, and MongoDB.

It aims to provide essential functionalities for managing user identities securely within various applications.

The system ensures data integrity, security, and scalability, making it suitable for integration into diverse software environments.

Core Highlights

  • Micro-Service Architecture: The system is designed with a modular approach, allowing deployment as a microservices architecture.

  • This flexibility ensures that it can adapt to varying application needs and scalability requirements.

  • Core Technologies Used:

    • Node.js & Express.js: Backbone for server-side logic and RESTful API development.
    • Mongoose.js: MongoDB object modeling tool for data schema management.
    • MongoDB: NoSQL database for flexible and scalable data storage.
    • JWT & Bcrypt.js: Implements secure authentication and authorization mechanisms.
    • Redis: Utilized for caching and session management.
    • Express-session & Cors: Middleware for handling sessions and enabling CORS requests.
    • Winston: Utilized for logging required information.
    • Joi: Utilized for request and parameter validation.
