• This project is a summary of this back-end trimester: authentication, NodeJS, MongoDB, Redis, pagination and background processing.
• The objective is to build a simple platform to upload and view files:
  • User authentication via a token
  • List all files
  • Upload a new file
  • Change permission of a file
  • View a file
  • Generate thumbnails for images
• You will be guided step by step for building it, but you have some freedoms of implementation, split in more files etc… (utils folder will be your friend)
• Of course, this kind of service already exists in the real life - it’s a learning purpose to assemble each piece and build a full product.
• Enjoy!
