Amazon Clone Backend

This is the backend for the Amazon Clone project, built using Node.js and Express.js. It complements the frontend written in React.js, deployed here. The backend handles API requests, manages environment variables, and integrates payment processing via Stripe.

Features

• API routes to support user interactions and product management.
• Secure handling of environment variables using dotenv.
• Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) for frontend-backend communication.
• Integration with Stripe for handling payments.

Technologies Used

• Node.js: Server-side runtime.
• Express.js: Lightweight framework for building API routes.
• dotenv: Manages environment variables in a .env file.
• CORS: Enables secure cross-origin requests.
• Stripe: Provides payment processing capabilities.
