Hi there! 👋 I’m thrilled to share a new project I’ve been working on — it’s called CloudIdeaGeneration. 🌥️ This web app helps you come up with interesting cloud project ideas that match your cloud provider, your skill level, and the services you’re curious about. Let me walk you through how it all works!
🌟 Why I Built It
When I first started exploring the world of cloud computing — AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — I felt a little lost. There were just too many services to pick from, and I didn’t always know where to start. So, I thought:
“What if I had a tool that could suggest cloud projects tailored to my experience and the services I want to learn?”
That’s exactly what CloudIdeaGeneration does!
💡 How It Works
Using the power of AI, this app can suggest project ideas based on:
✅ The cloud provider you want to use (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
✅ Your skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
✅ The specific services you’re excited about
For example, if you’re just starting with Azure and want to learn about Azure Functions and Blob Storage, it’ll give you beginner-friendly project ideas you can build right away!

🛠️ How It’s Built
Here’s what’s under the hood:

Backend: Node.js and Express
Security: CORS protection, rate limiting, and secure headers with Helmet
APIs: Use either OpenAI or Gemini to power the project suggestions.
To keep everything clean and scalable, I separated the app into two repos:
- Frontend
- Backend
