Build a nodeJS API server that communicates with a RabbitMQ

Hello, I have a very simple requirement and it is for a university project. I need a node.js server that will be able to perform 2 simple tasks: 1) Expose an HTTP API that will have transfer information throughout JSON. (It is a simple REST API with 1 model) 2) For every API request, I want the server to send some messages on a RabbitMQ instance and wait for a reply An example: There will be a database (MongoDB) with only 1 collection, that will store items with this schema: { '_id': 'theMongoID', 'name': 'item1', 'position' : '1' } A client should be able to send (PUT) a JSON that will include some IDs and a position in a url like this: [login to view URL]:port/api/changePossition When the server receives the JSON, will iterate over the IDs and will send AMQP messages* to a RabbitMQ. Then will have to wait for a response from the RabbitMQ and only if the server receives this answer, will change the 'position' column of the entries. *this can be done with this lib: [login to view URL] REQUIREMENTS 1) I need this project to be on MEAN-JS ([login to view URL]) 2) I also need this server to run in production, which means that: a) a guide on how to deploy it and running without keeping a console open (with forever project? [login to view URL]). I would also like to know if I need an ngix or apache server upfront. b) a good planning on logging errors properly optional: 3) I would prefer someone that can also teach me though how he/she builded the server and answer my questions on Javascript, Node.js and [login to view URL]
