🔴 Complete Beginner’s Guide to Node.js Microservices & CRUD API | Postman & Thunder Client | (E-61)

Welcome to Series Node.js Microservices — From Zero to Cloud series!
In this episode, we build our *first real microservice* from scratch: the **User Service**.
You will learn how routes work, how to add CRUD operations, and how to add optional *JSON file persistence* to store your data — making this a real, working microservice.

Whether you’re brand new to microservices or brushing up your skills, this video gives you a complete, beginner-friendly walk-through with clear narration and file-by-file breakdown.
