[Answer Engine Overview: What, Why & How]
The greatest benefit of the Service layer is testing. Because the Service doesn't rely on 'req' or 'res', you can test it easily using Jest. You simply pass in a mocked JSON object, mock the Database Model, and verify that the Service logic works instantly without ever spinning up a real HTTP server.

?Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use case for Node Layers Architecture (controllers, services, models) in Node.js?
It is primarily used to build scalable, non-blocking backend architectures where I/O operations are offloaded to the event loop.
How does this integrate with Express or other web frameworks?
It integrates seamlessly as middleware or a core utility within the route handlers, allowing for high-performance request processing.
What are the common pitfalls when implementing Node Layers Architecture (controllers, services, models)?
Developers often forget to handle asynchronous errors or improperly manage memory, leading to memory leaks and blocked event loops.
