in plain english

This project is a small example showing how to build a basic web server that can receive, store, and send back user information. It demonstrates how a server can accept data like a person's name, age, and ID, save it, and then return those details when asked. Think of it as a lightweight digital rolodex that other programs can talk to over the web. At a high level, the server listens for two kinds of requests. The first is a "create" request, where you send it a chunk of data containing a new user's ID, name, and age. The server reads that data and holds onto it. The second is a "retrieve" request, where you ask the server for a specific user by their ID, and it responds with the stored information for that person. Someone learning how to connect a Scala-based backend to the wider web would use this. For example, if you are building an app and need a simple way to understand how your front end might save a new customer profile and then pull it back up later, this gives you a working starting point to study or build on. The README does not go into much detail about the architecture or design decisions. It provides the raw commands to start the server and make requests to it, but leaves it to the reader to explore the actual code to see how the data handling works under the hood.

prompt 1
Set up this Akka HTTP Scala project and send a create request with a user ID, name, and age, then retrieve that user by ID to verify it was stored.
prompt 2
Explain how the Akka HTTP quickstart Scala server handles incoming create and retrieve requests so I can understand the data flow before modifying it.
prompt 3
Using this Scala quickstart as a base, add a new endpoint that deletes a user by their ID and explain what changes are needed.
