backend/database/db-connector.js

This file features database credentials There are a couple of options when it comes to hiding these; here is one:

The most common approach is to use a .env file to store environment variables. The file itself would be added to your gitignore to avoid secrets showing up in the repo. This is a popular choice because all major pipelines support environment variables. This means you can still deploy seamlessly once you configure your ci/cd.
