**What You'll Build** A fully working Employee Management REST API with: * **CRUD endpoints** (POST, GET, PATCH, DELETE /employees) * **Pagination**, sorting, and filtering on the list endpoint * **Strong runtime validation** via *zod* * A typed, schema-first database layer via *Drizzle ORM* * **Environment-aware configuration** (development / production) * A multi-database PostgreSQL setup orchestrated via *Docker Compose* * A seed script to populate sample data * A **REST Client** app.http file to exercise every endpoint **What You'll Learn** By the end of this workshop you'll be able to: * Scaffold a NestJS application from scratch with `@nestjs/cli`. * Containerize a Node.js API using a multi-stage Dockerfile and *Docker Compose*. * Run PostgreSQL in Docker with auto-created databases via init scripts. * Load environment variables dynamically from `.env.${NODE_ENV}` files. * Wire up *Drizzle ORM* as a global NestJS module with proper lifecycle hooks. * Define a database schema in TypeScript and generate SQL migrations. * Validate request bodies and query params with *zod* using custom decorators (no class-validator). * Implement pagination, sorting, and filtering the right way. * Translate database errors (e.g. unique_violation) into proper HTTP responses (**409 Conflict**). * Write a seed script that works across environments. * Test the API end-to-end using the **VS Code REST Client**. **Prerequisites** Please install before the event: * Node.js : ≥ 22 [Download here](https://nodejs.org) * pnpm: ≥ 9 * `corepack enable && corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate` * Docker Engine: ≥ 20.10 (With the Compose v2 plugin, `docker compose`, not `docker-compose`) * Git: latest [Download here](https://git-scm.com) * VS Code: latest [Download here](https://code.visualstudio.com) * VS Code extensions: * REST Client, ESLint, Prettier A working internet connection is required to download Docker images and npm packages.
