Best Practices for Structuring a Node.js Server with Express

[demurerecall]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on a Node.js project using Express, and I want to make sure I’m structuring my server code in the most efficient way. I’ve seen different approaches online, but I’m unsure which one is best for maintainability and scalability.

What are some best practices for organizing routes, middleware, and controllers in an Express application? I’d love to hear your thoughts on file organization, managing environment variables, and any common pitfalls to avoid.

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your insights!
