Overview of My Submission

Inspiration behind the idea: While having a discussion with one of my friends, she stated a problem that she faces daily in her shop. She needed an app to manage her inventory which is easy to use and can be scalable as per the demand. She didn't want to use MS-Excel because she wanted her data to persist and available whenever she needed. So I thought to build a model Inventory Management App using Redis Database that can solve her problems of scalability, data persistence and availability.

hardWareHouse is a hypothetical model shop that could be used to showcase the features of Redis Database. It uses Redis as its primary database, Flask as the backend that connects with Redis, and React as the frontend that renders the data on the browser.
