Redis Task Manager

This is a Redis Task Manager project built to practice using Redis for caching data in a Node.js & TypeScript backend. It leverages Express.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL to manage tasks efficiently, with Redis optimizing response times for frequently accessed data.

Endpoint Overview

• GET /tasks: Get All Tasks (with Redis caching)
• GET /tasks/{id}: Get Task By ID (with Redis caching)
• POST /tasks: Create a New Task

  Request:
  {
     "title": "Lorem ipsum",
     "content": "Lorem ipsum"
  }
  

• PUT /tasks/{id}: Update an Existing Task

  Request:
  {
     "title": "Lorem ipsum 2",
     "content": "Lorem ipsum 2"
  }
  

• PUT /tasks/complete/{id}: Mark a Task as Complete
• DELETE /tasks/{id}: Delete a Task

Tech Stack

• TypeScript: Strongly typed JavaScript for backend development
• Express.js: Fast, minimalist web framework
• Prisma: ORM for database management
• PostgreSQL: Relational database for storing tasks
• Redis: In-memory cache to speed up data retrieval
• Docker: Containerized environment for easy deployment
