Today marks a significant milestone in my DevOps journey as I successfully wrapped up the entire frontend development of the project. The UI has now taken its final shape, providing a responsive and intuitive user experience that aligns with the application’s core purpose. With the frontend foundation in place, it’s time to shift gears and dive into the backend development phase.
✅ Frontend Phase: Completed
After days of planning, wireframing, and coding, the frontend is now complete. I focused on building a clean, responsive, and modular interface that ensures seamless user interactions. Leveraging modern web development practices, the UI is now ready to communicate with the backend and support future integrations.
🔧 Backend Kickoff: Tech Stack Selection
To build a scalable and efficient backend, I’ve chosen:
- Framework: Express.js
- Runtime: Node.js
- Database: PostgreSQL
These technologies were selected for their reliability, community support, and ease of integration. Express.js offers the flexibility needed to build RESTful APIs quickly, while PostgreSQL provides a robust relational database system to manage structured data effectively.
🏗 Project Structure Initialization
The initial structure of the backend project has been set up with a clear folder hierarchy and code organization. This includes:
- API route definitions
- Middleware setup
- Configuration for environment variables
- Basic database connection logic
Laying this foundation is crucial to ensure that the codebase remains maintainable and scalable as the project grows.
📅 From this point on, the focus will be on building API endpoints, establishing secure communication between the frontend and backend, and integrating the PostgreSQL database. The journey continues with hands-on learning, architectural planning, and iterative development.
Stay tuned for more updates as I continue building this application end-to-end while learning the core principles of DevOps through real-world practice.
