I started by working on the mongoose model for my database. I then did a local seed to MongoDB and started working on the endpoints. I needed to make some changes in the model and did a new database seed. Kept on working on the endpoints and handling errors. When everything worked locally I deployed to Heroku. And had some issues regarding versions of dependencies with Heroku but solved it all. Also configured MongoDB Atlas. Tested first with a empty database and then did a seed to MongoDB Atlas using Heroku Config Vars and "RESET_DATABASE=true" to run my seed to db.
