Build Process

The API uses TypeScript and must be compiled before deployment: 
npm run build
This command:
  1. Installs all dependencies
  2. Compiles TypeScript to JavaScript in the dist/ directory
After building, start the server with: 
npm start
This runs the compiled application from dist/index.js.
