Hi everyone!

I want to share with you how I built a Node.js API for one of our biggest clients, where I will describe some patterns and javascript conventions I've used. I will make it easy to export these ideas elsewhere so they can be useful for your projects.

I will break down this guide into several parts. My goal with this series posts is to make it easy to understand the rationale behind my decisions regarding code structure and conventions.

Disclaimer: the source code examples are, in most of the cases, a simplification of the real code for easier legibility and to avoid compromising our client's code.
