ExpressAPI

An Express.js CRUD API that calls to a Postgres database using Sequelize. Pm2 is used for production process management and Agentkeepalive for connection reuse on calls using Axios.

Project makeup:

• express is used as the server fielding HTTP requests
• axios is used for API calls to other API based endpoints
• postgres is used for the 'main' part of this repository which is a CRUD based application
• sequelize is used as the ORM paired with Azure Database for PostgreSQL
• agentkeepalive is used for connection reuse and keepalives that is passed into axios

This project uses two approaches for making requests

• the controllers/axios folder which contains API calls using Axios to test out agentkeepalive and connection reuse/keepalives
• the controllers/postgres folder which contains calls to Postgres with the help of Sequelize to also test out the use of connection pooling.

Ideally, this project is a combination of techniques created primarily for testing while using Express as a backbone. This can either be ran containerized or with Pm2 separately.
