      docker compose up -d
  2. Install Dependencies:

    • Use pnpm to install all the necessary dependencies:
      pnpm i
  3. Configure Environment Variables:

    • Create a .env file in the root directory.
    • Use the provided .env.sample as a template to enter all the required environment variables.

What's Included

  • Auth Module: Includes Google Sign-In support for easy authentication.
  • User Management: Comprehensive user management functionality.
  • File Upload: Handles file uploads with Multer and Amazon S3.
  • Data Validation & Serialization: Zod is used for validation and serialization of data.
  • Configuration Management: Managed using dotenv-cli and validated with Zod for accuracy and safety.
  • Middlewares:
