This is a TypeScript execution environment and REPL for Node.js. It allows you to directly run TypeScript files without having to compile them first.

Runs your TypeScript file using ts-node and ensures that module paths are resolved correctly based on the paths configured in your tsconfig.json file using tsconfig-paths/register:

ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register --transpile-only .ts

• -r tsconfig-paths/register: This flag (-r) tells ts-node to register the tsconfig-paths/register module before running your TypeScript file.
• --transpile-only: execute the code instead of showing transpilation result

Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to build, run, and share applications with containers.

starts the containers in the background and leaves them running :

Modify docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile file to your source code.

NGINX is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.

Proxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.

When NGINX proxies a request, it sends the request to a specified proxied server, fetches the response, and sends it back to the client.

Modify nginx.conf file to your source code.
