Speed Coding: Building a CRUD API (Watch a Twitch streamer code an Express API in 20 minutes!)

• What’s the relationship between REST and CRUD?
  CRUD refers to the functionality we use when interacting with a database, and REST is the API protocol for getting resources from a server.

• If you had to describe the process of creating a RESTful API in 5 steps, what would they be?
