Hacktoberfest 2025 Backend Release – v1.0.0

This release marks the first MVP version of our backend API, developed during Hacktoberfest 2025.

Highlights

• Core REST API endpoints for products, authentication, and users
• Secure middleware stack (helmet, rate-limiter, CORS configuration)
• MongoDB integration and Mongoose models
• Authentication flow (register/login)
• CI/CD pipeline and Render deployment
• API health checks and structured error handling

Thank You

Huge appreciation to all contributors who helped design, test, and refine our API.
Your collaboration made our backend production-ready and scalable.
