Welcome to the Instagram-Clone-Express-TS repository! This project aims to replicate the core features and functionality of the popular social media platform, Instagram, using Express.js and TypeScript. By building this clone, you'll gain hands-on experience in building a modern web application with a focus on backend development and API design.

• User Authentication: Implement a robust user authentication system, allowing users to sign up, log in, and reset their passwords securely.
• Profile Management: Enable users to create and edit their profiles, including uploading profile pictures and updating personal information.
• Image Upload and Sharing: Implement the ability for users to upload images, and share them with their followers or the public.
• News Feed: Create a dynamic news feed that displays images and posts from users a person follows.
• Comments and Likes: Allow users to comment on posts, like posts, and see a list of their own posts, comments, and likes.
• Responsive Design: Ensure the application is accessible and usable on various devices, including desktop and mobile.

• Fastify.js: A fast and minimalist web framework for Node.js.
• TypeScript: A statically typed superset of JavaScript, adding robustness to your codebase.
• Postgresql: A NoSQL database for storing user data, posts, and other information.
• GraphQL: A query language for APIs that provides a flexible and efficient way to request data.
• Apollo Server: A GraphQL server that integ rates seamlessly with Express.
• AWS S3: Use Amazon S3 for storing user-uploaded images securely.
• Authentication: Implement authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for secure user sessions.
