Efficient APIs in Node.js

By Jesús Pérez

Efficient APIs in Node.js

After years of implementing web APIs for different jobs and projects, the frustration of (re)writing the same code (and fixing the same mistakes) over and over again reached its limit. So I decided to write a boilerplate from scratch with the goal of being as efficient as possible as a developer looking for scalability, security and consistency from the first deployment. Life is curious and finally I was hired to deploy APIs "like churros" :).
