Web Applications Course Project

This project is part of the System Design Project for the Web Applications course (2023/2024). The objective is to develop a comprehensive blueprint for a mobile application, covering both the front-end and back-end architectures. The project emphasizes architectural issues and includes systems architecture, software architecture, and application architecture.

Goals

1. Develop a blueprint for a mobile application that includes all necessary architectural decisions.
2. Adopt a microservices architecture for the back-end.
3. Adopt a micro-frontend architecture for the front-end.
4. Implement a single-page application approach.
5. Utilize an everything-as-a-service approach to maximize modularity and reusability.

Key Features

1. Systems Architecture:

   • Definition of the overall structure and high-level components of the system.
   • Identification of external dependencies and interactions.

2. Software Architecture:

   • Detailed design of the microservices architecture for the back-end.
   • Detailed design of the micro-frontend architecture for the front-end.
   • Specification of communication protocols and data exchange formats.

3. Application Architecture:

   • Blueprint for the single-page application.
   • Considerations for user interface and user experience design.
   • Integration of the front-end and back-end components.

Project Components

• Back-end:

  • Microservices architecture ensuring modularity, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Services designed to handle specific business functionalities.
  • Use of APIs to facilitate communication between services.

• Front-end:

  • Micro-frontend architecture allowing independent development and deployment of front-end components.
  • Single-page application (SPA) design for a seamless user experience.
  • Utilization of modern front-end frameworks and libraries.
