+# Assignment 4:
+
+**Name:** Yovan Budianto Tanujaya<br>
+**NRP:** 5803025020<br>  
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Proyek ini adalah **RESTful Web API** yang dibuat menggunakan **Go** dengan **PostgreSQL** sebagai penyimpanan database utama. Proyek ini mencakup **manajemen autentikasi, operasi pada store layer, serta pengujian otomatis** yang meliputi **unit test, integration test, dan E2E test**.
+
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* **Go:** Version 1.22 higher
+* **PostgreSQL:** Local 
+* **OS:** Windows / Linux / macOS
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The application relies on the following environment variables for database configuration and testing:
+
+| Variable | Description | Default / Example |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| `DB_HOST` | Database host address | `localhost` |
+| `DB_PORT` | Database port | `5432` |
+| `DB_USER` | Database username | `postgres` |
+| `DB_PASSWORD` | Database password | *Your local database password from postgresql* |
+| `DB_NAME` | Database name (**must end with `_test`** during testing) | `w04_5803025020` |
+
+---
+
+## Database Setup
+
+Before running integration tests, create a PostgreSQL test database with a name ending in `_test` as a safety guard[cite: 3, 4]:
+
+```sql
+CREATE DATABASE w04_5803025020;
