TypeScript REST API with NodeJS, Postgres & TypeORM ( Database Connection)

In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of setting up a robust and scalable Node.js server with TypeORM, TypeScript, and Postgres using Docker containers. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer looking to optimize your development environment, this step-by-step guide will provide you with all the necessary tools to get started.
We'll start by setting up our Node.js server, using the powerful TypeORM library to manage our database interactions. TypeORM simplifies database management by providing an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) layer, allowing us to work with TypeScript entities and seamlessly interact with our Postgres database.
To ensure a consistent and reproducible development environment, we'll containerize our Postgres database using Docker. I'll walk you through a Docker Compose YAML file, which makes it easy to set up and manage our database instance. You'll see how Docker streamlines the process of spinning up and configuring the database, making development and testing a breeze.
