Welcome to the Oroge! This repository contains an Express API built using Node.js. The API provides endpoints to retrieve log files and read the last N lines of a log file using Node streaming API. It also includes utility functions for directory traversal and log file reading.

• List log files in a directory.
• Read the last N lines of a specific log file.
• Utility functions for directory traversal and log file reading with back pressure handling.
• Error handling and graceful shutdown.
• TODO: Comprehensive logging using Winston.
