ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Project Management API is a backend service modeled after JIRA — built to handle the data layer of a project tracking tool from the ground up. The API supports user registration with email verification (via Mailtrap/SMTP), secure JWT-based authentication, password reset flows, and role-based access control across the entire surface area.
The core endpoints cover full lifecycle management of projects, issues, and users — create, read, update, delete, and assign — with structured error handling that surfaces meaningful messages to API consumers. Every protected route validates JWT tokens and enforces role permissions before executing.
What makes this different from a typical CRUD demo is the production-readiness focus: thoughtful HTTP status codes, validation at the schema level, rate-limit-aware design, and email flows that actually work end-to-end. The kind of backend you'd plug a real frontend into without a rewrite.
