Technologies

Development

• Text Editor / IDE : any, prefer: VSCode
  • Development can be done with any tool including simple text editors like vim/notepad. However, the current repository follows formatting rules defined by Typescript/TSX mode on prettier which is why a highly configurable text editor is preferred like VSCode
• JavaScript Package Manager: npm
  • The npm or node package manager is used to handle the organization of external tooling and packages. It allows us to see which modules are used as defined in the package.json/package-lock.json
• Python Package Manager: pip
  • pip is used to manage all backend technologies.

Frameworks and Langauges:

• JavaScript / TypeScript

  • NextJs 13: ReactJs Wrapper with Server Rendering with API routes
  • Jest: Testing for React Components used in NextJs pages

• Python

  • FastAPI: Backend framework with a modern Python runtime

Testing

• React Component Testing: jest
  • React Component Testing is done via jest since it is easy to integrate within the frontend workflow. Tests can be ran with npm run test. The test command is alias to run a jest coverage report on each tested component.

Deployment on AWS

Currently¹, the backend for this application will be hosted on AWS EC2 Virtual Machines as defined by the Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) layout.

Hardware

There is no hardware used in this project.

1. The plan is to move to a containerized backend to easily trigger CI/CD updates. The current Terraform layout (EC2 VMs) is borrowed from a previous project.↩
