Next.js from Development to Deployment - Custom User Events Endpoint

The video tutorial demonstrates how to create a new endpoint in Strapi to fetch events for logged-in users. It covers defining routes and handlers, creating controller methods, handling user authentication, and testing the endpoint using Postman. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of separating routes and ensuring proper authentication to access user-specific data.
