- Upload a new file

- Change permission of a file

- View a file

- Generate thumbnails for images

## Technologies Used

- NODEJS

  - **bull**: Redis-based queue for Node, used to create and queue jobs for processing

  - **chai-http**: Test module extension for testing http request in intergration tests

  - **express**: Light weight un-opinionated application server for node

  - **image-thumbnail**: Library for generating an image thumbnail,

  - **mime-types**: Lobrary to properly handle mime types,

  - **mongodb**: NoSQL database, allow flexible storage of data

  - **redis**: an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker

  - **sha1**: a native js function for hashing messages with the SHA-1 algorithm

  - **uuid**: For the creation of RFC4122 UUIDs

  ***

  ### During development

  - **mocha**: Test framework

  - **sinon**: For spying, stubing and many more while testing

  - **eslint**: finding and fixing problem with js code

  - **babel**: For transpiling codes to codes that are backward compatible
