Software Architecture Project

 Title of Project: Developing an E-commerce Application using 3-tier Architecture.

Project Scope:

  • Utilizing the MERN stack: MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js
  • Employing a 3-tier architecture: UI, Logic, Data
  • Exploring micro-services architecture in addition to traditional monolithic architecture
  • Deployment on AWS cloud services

Personal Goals:

  • Implementing a clear separation of concerns through the 3-tier architecture
  • Experimenting with micro-services to understand its benefits and challenges
  • Leveraging AWS Lambda for micro-services and AWS API Gateway for APIs
  • Deploying a MongoDB cluster on AWS for scalability and reliability

Timeline:

  • Milestone 1 : Setting up the project structure, database schema, and basic CRUD operations. Exploring micro-services architecture and setting up AWS Lambda functions.

  • Milestone 2 : Developing the UI for both admin and customer interfaces. Implementing core functionalities such as user authentication, product listing, and cart management.

  • Milestone 3 : Enhancing the UI using Ant Design or similar UI frameworks. Fine-tuning functionalities, ensuring scalability, and handling edge cases.

Expectations:

  • Gain expertise in micro-services architecture and document the learning process.
  • Implement efficient methods for searching and sorting to handle a large database of over 200,000 products. 
  • Adhere to strict deadlines for each milestone to ensure timely delivery and continuous improvement. 
  • Document the project journey for personal reference and potential future use, including challenges faced and solutions implemented. 
  • Utilize the project as a means of up skilling for job hunting amidst a challenging job market in 2024.

Hello World !!

Hello World My name is Kapish Patel, and this would probably be my third blog. Previously, I started a couple of blogs where I used to share code with detailed concepts from my high school and undergraduate studies. However, I was forced to delete those blogs because people were simply copying and pasting those code samples for their assignments. Now, I believe professors are smart enough to catch them using plagiarism detection tools. On this blog, I will be sharing what I learn and how it affects my life. I can't promise a new story every week, but I am considering documenting my journey with a new story regularly. Thank you.

In other words, AI can be utilized to complete repetitive tasks efficiently.  What about generative AI? Yes, it's a useful tool for gaining a high-level understanding of a topic. However, for in-depth exploration, experimentation and reading documentation likely provide more comprehensive information. GPT models also rely on web information, filtered based on various factors such as the provided prompt or common findings on the web. If we compile a list of tasks AI assistants cannot perform—making friends, providing ethical perspectives, generating creative content, performing a Coldplay concert, or telling original jokes without internet searches
