Scenario-Based Questions

Definition

Scenario questions require you to think critically about how you would solve a specific problem using Express. ### Scenario *"You are building an API endpoint for users to upload high-resolution profile pictures. How do you architect this to ensure the server doesn't crash?"* **Expected Answer:** 1. Use a package like `multer` to handle the `multipart/form-data`. 2. Do NOT save the files to the local Express server disk, as it will fill up quickly and is not scalable. 3. Validate the file type and limit the file size in the middleware. 4. Stream the upload directly to a cloud storage provider like AWS S3 using `multer-s3`. 5. Save only the S3 URL string to the database.
