In full-stack development, you need a server. From the server, you start serving your web application. So in this module, you will learn how can you run a server in your own local machine using expressjs.

The 12-factor App

We must follow below 12 factors when we are developing full-stack web applications.

1. Codebase one codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
2. Dependencies explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
3. Config Store config in the environment
4. Backing services Treat backing services as attached resources
5. Build, release, run strictly separate build and run stages
6. Processes Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
7. Port binding Export services via port binding
8. Concurrency scale out via the process model
9. Disposability Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
10. Dev/prod parity Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
11. Logs Treat logs as event streams
12. Admin processes run admin/management tasks as one-off processes
