Code Review
This pull request enhances the backend tutorial documentation by introducing several best practices for error handling, security, and project configuration. Key additions include guidance on environment-specific error reporting, the use of local development dependencies over global ones, and proper error propagation in asynchronous controllers and callbacks. A review comment suggests improving the MVC controller example by explicitly handling '404 Not Found' scenarios when a database query returns no results.

| res.json(userData); |

When fetching a resource by ID, it is a best practice to handle the case where the resource is not found. If User.findById returns null, the controller should return a 404 Not Found status. This provides better feedback to the client than returning a 200 OK with a null body, which is especially important in a tutorial aimed at 'Master' level development.
const userData = await User.findById(req.params.id);
if (!userData) {
return res.status(404).json({ message: "User not found" });
}
res.json(userData);
