Introduction

The backend of our League of Legends stat tracker, powered by Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, serves as the robust foundation for our platform.

Designed to provide users with comprehensive and up-to-date statistics on summoners, matches, champions, and items, our backend system seamlessly manages data storage, retrieval, and external API interactions.

Leveraging the power of MongoDB, we store and organize vast amounts of game-related information, while Express facilitates smooth communication between our frontend and backend components.

With a well-structured directory layout and modular architecture, our backend ensures scalability, maintainability, and high performance, making it an essential part of our League of Legends stat tracking solution.
