Question 1 of 5

A POST /api/users returns 201 Created with the new user JSON in the body. To verify the user actually persisted (not just echoed back), the strongest check is:

Trust the 201 — it's authoritative for state changes
Run SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '<the email you posted>' and assert the row exists with the expected fields
Send another GET /api/users and assume the count went up by 1
Run SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users and compare to the count before the POST
