NestJS + Postgres API
A NestJS 11 REST API with a notes resource on a managed Postgres database, request validation and a health check that tests the database. Click Deploy and Naijacloud builds it from the public repo, creates the Postgres database and connects it, and gives you a live HTTPS address. No GitHub connection needed.
