Build and Test

1. npm i (shorthand for npm install)
2. Create a PostgreSQL database "clean-arch-demo"
3. Setup connection details in src/Gateways/PostgreSQL/Bootstrap.ts
4. Hit F5 from VSCode or npm start
5. Make API calls with your REST client of choice (https://www.postman.com/ or https://insomnia.rest/)
   • or use the REST Client VSCode extension (you'll be prompted to install it on the very first workspace load)
   • go to rest-client top-level folder and look at any of the .http files
