Explanation of Key Directories:

• src/config/: Contains configuration files for services such as database connections and Sentry.
• src/controllers/: Holds the business logic for handling API requests.
• src/graphql/: Contains the GraphQL schema and resolver logic for the API.
• src/middleware/: Stores custom middleware (e.g., authentication or logging).
• src/models/: Includes all Mongoose models for managing MongoDB collections.
• src/routes/: Defines routes for both REST and GraphQL endpoints.
• src/utils/: Utility functions such as token generation or data parsing.
• app.js: Initializes the Express application, middleware, and routes.
• server.js: The entry point that starts the Express server.

This structure ensures scalability, modularity, and clear separation of concerns, making it easy to maintain and extend.
