- Encrypt passwords and reset tokens
- Prevent NoSQL injections

- Connect a domain name
- Install an SSL using Let's Encrypt
- NPM scripts for dev and production env
- Config file for important constants
- Use controller methods with documented descriptions/routes
- Error handling middleware
- Authentication middleware for protecting routes and setting user roles
- Validation using Mongoose and no external libraries
- Use async/await (create middleware to clean up controller methods)
- Create a database seeder to import and destroy data
Minor thought could be fun to deploy this to Digital Ocean by using docker etc ?
