The Bookstore API is a RESTful service designed to manage a collection of books, allowing users to perform Create and GetAll operations on books stored in a database. This service is built using NestJS, a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.

• NestJS: A framework for building Node.js server-side applications.
• MongoDB: A NoSQL database used to store the book data.
• Mongoose: An ODM (Object Document Mapping) library for MongoDB and Node.js.
• Swagger: An open-source software framework backed by a large ecosystem of tools that helps developers design, build, document, and consume RESTful web services.

• Node.js
