Projects
Project 1: Task Management API
Description
Develop a backend system for a task management application. Implement user authentication, task creation, updating, deletion, and retrieval. Use Express.js and MongoDB/PostgreSQL.
Requirements
Implement RESTful API endpoints for task management. Secure the API with JWT authentication. Use a database (MongoDB or PostgreSQL) for storing tasks. Deploy the application using a cloud platform.
Deliverables
A fully functional API hosted on a cloud platform with documentation. Source code and README file explaining project setup and endpoints.
Project 2: E-commerce Backend System
Description
Develop a backend for an e-commerce application with authentication, product management, and order processing.
Requirements
Implement User Authentication (JWT/OAuth). Create Product and Order APIs. Implement Role-Based Access Control (Admin/User). Use Caching for Performance Optimization. Deploy the API with CI/CD Pipeline.
Deliverables
A fully functional e-commerce backend deployed on a cloud platform. Source code and API documentation explaining the project structure and endpoints.
