Social Media Application

This Node.js and TypeScript project leverages Express for the backend, AWS for image uploads, Prisma for database interaction, Redis for caching, and Zod for validation. The main features include:

Features 🚀

• Express Server: Providing a robust and scalable foundation for handling HTTP requests.

• Redis Cache: Utilizes Redis as a caching mechanism to improve performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory.

• Prisma ORM: Implements Prisma as the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool to simplify database interactions and provide type-safe database queries.

• Zod Validations: Employs Zod for input validations, ensuring that incoming data adheres to defined schemas, enhancing security and data integrity.

• AWS S3 Integration: Supports image posts by leveraging AWS S3 for efficient storage and retrieval of images.

• Posts: Manage and display posts.

• Post Likes: Allow users to like posts.

• Comments: Enable users to add comments to posts and like other comments as well.

   PORT=3000
   REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
   POSTGRES_PRISMA_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database
   POSTGRES_URL_NON_POOLING=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database
   AWS_S3_ENDPOINT="Your aws s3 endpoint"
   AWS_S3_TOKEN="Your aws s3 token"
   AWS_S3_SECRET="Your aws s3 secret"
   AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY="Your aws s3 access key"
