Considerations

• I created the address book in the form of a REST API using the nestJS framework, to be able to speed delivery and have a modularized application.
• There is no integration with aany database. Mock data and contacts created are stored in memory, so restarting the nest server will reset the number of available contacts.
• I included a postman collection of available requests in monash.postman_collection.json
