To start the development process, I dived into exploring server-side architecture.
After researching various backend technologies, I opted for Nest.js,
a progressive Node.js framework known for its scalability and modularity.
Nest.js provided a solid foundation for building the backend of the Cloud Storage app, enabling me to efficiently manage server-side operations.
With Nest.js as the backbone of the backend, I proceeded to create RESTful API endpoints.
These endpoints served as a bridge between the client and server, handling essential operations such as user registration, login, and file management.
To store user information and files metadata, I integrated PostgreSQL, a powerful relational database, into the backend.
This database choice ensured data integrity and efficient handling of user-related information.
Ensuring robust security for the application was a top priority.
To achieve this, I implemented PassportJS with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for user authentication and authorization.
This combination provided a reliable mechanism to safeguard user data and maintain secure access to the Cloud Storage app.
To enable users to effortlessly add files to their cloud storage, I incorporated Multer, a middleware for handling file uploads.
With Multer's assistance, users could upload files of varying types, enhancing the functionality of the app.
With the backend foundation in place, I shifted my focus to the front-end development. Next.js, combined with TypeScript,
emerged as my preferred choice for crafting the user interface. Next.js's server-side rendering capabilities and TypeScript's
