The Node.js framework Express allows us to create web servers and APIs with minimal setup. We will be using Express in a Node.js application to create an API Proxy to request data from another API and return it to a consumer. We can also use Express middleware to help us optimize the API Proxy and improve performance for returning data from the underlying API.
By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to:
Understand the API Proxy we are creating in Node.js with Express
Understand the optimizations we will add to our API Proxy
