More Torque (MT) - Conference Booking Application

Overview

More Torque (MT) is a comprehensive backend system designed to manage vehicles and organizations for a conference booking application. The project involves handling vehicle information, organizational hierarchies, and policy inheritance. It features VIN decoding, rate limiting, caching, and secure API access. This project was developed using Node.js with ExpressJS and MongoDB.

Features

• VIN Decoding: Extracts and provides manufacturer, model, and year information from VINs using the NHTSA API.
• Vehicle Management: Allows CRUD operations for vehicles, including VIN validation and integration with organizational data.
• Organization Management: Supports hierarchical organizational structures with parent-child relationships and policy inheritance.
• Policy Inheritance: Automatically propagates fuel reimbursement and speed limit policies across organizational levels.
• Rate Limiting: Implements rate limiting to prevent abuse and ensure fair use of the API.
• Caching: Uses caching to optimize performance and reduce redundant API calls.
• Authentication: Ensures secure API access by verifying authorized users.
