Challenges and Solutions
Challenge
Building a scalable platform in a short time frame with a small team.
Solution
Focused on rapid MVP (Minimum Viable Product) development using a streamlined tech stack (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL). We prioritized core features and adopted AWS services (like RDS for database management) to minimize manual configuration and scale quickly.
Challenge
Ensuring seamless user experience across devices.
Solution
Emphasized responsive design and mobile-first development to ensure that the platform worked flawlessly on all devices with minimal resources.
Challenge
Limited team size to build both front-end and back-end features.
Solution
Utilized TypeScript for better collaboration between front-end and back-end code, reducing development time and errors. The development team of four worked closely to streamline the application.
