The API consist of:

• GET /user -- to show all users (without paginate).

      "birthday": "1990-05-10",

  }

  firstName should be exists, birthday format is YYYY-MM-DD, and timezone is to store current user location's timezone. Additionally it also create task to schedule nontification based on current year and birthday month and current user timezoe. If birthday this year already passed, it will create for the next year.
