The comprehensive step by step tutorial on building secure Node.js, Express.js, Passport.js, and PostgreSQL Restful Web Service. Previously, we have shown you a combination of Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL tutorial. Now, we just add security for that REST API Web Service endpoints. Of course, we will start this tutorial from scratch or from zero application. We will use JWT for this Node.js, Express.js, Passport.js, and PostgreSQL tutorial.

- Create or Generate Sequelize Models and Migrations
- Create Routers for REST API Web Service and Authentication
- Run and Test Secure Node.js, Express.js, Passport.js, and PostgreSQL Web Service
The following tools, frameworks, and modules are required for this tutorial:
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL Server
- Express.js
- Sequelize.js
