@LostDevraj Sure

@Rishikesh04code can i dm you ?

got my first client. a private institute needed a full test platform built from scratch. I said yes. Backend MVP is done. Frontend starts now. Documenting everything publicly Here's the full architecture 👇

@ObiSamuel243528 thank u

@Rishikesh04code Nice one

@UkoMalachi0412 UI is in progress, will be posting updates soon let's connect..

@Rishikesh04code I would love to see the UI connecting with devs >>> Let’s connect

@tee_tobin @grok haha let grok cook..

@Rishikesh04code @grok what is this software?

@SasukeU45439755 thanks :)

@Rishikesh04code nice shi dude

@Sam1729_here hey! yes this is MERN stack MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js documenting everything publicly so you can follow along and learn from the whole build journey..

@Rishikesh04code I am a beginner who just completed MERN stack so which stack will you be using?...if MERN then I can also take learnings from your's this project

@prasanth530001 for making architecture i used eraser.io

@Rishikesh04code Where you design the architecture?

@Dev07Exp yeah it was a conscious choice, flexible schema works well for this use case since question structures and test configs can vary.... and MongoDB Atlas handles scaling cleanly without extra infra work...

@Rishikesh04code Hope MongoDB is a well thought out decision here.

@Amitesh48256 thanks for sharing, will check it out..

@Rishikesh04code For the frontend ui you can refer context.100xdevs.com

@IAmMicky7 thanks bro, architecture diagram is made on eraser.io

@Rishikesh04code Congratulations bro What tool did you use for this

@_xonoxc thats a gd suggestion actually, heard gd things abt hostinger KVM currently planning on Render/Railway for backend and Vercel for frontend to keep it simple for now only, but will definitely keep this in mind as the project scales...

@Rishikesh04code This can be much more simpler i would recommend just throw it on to a kvm 2 on hostinger both backend frontend,managment will be easy and it works like a charm and won't blow your client's wallet if they upgrade. Ease of maintainence is also one of the added benifits.

@saishmungase for storing files like profile pictures, question images, or any media uploads. database isn't the right place for that, kept both Cloudinary and S3 in the plan, will pick whichever fits the requirement nd economically suitable..

@Rishikesh04code Hey 👋🏻, Just a quick question why do you needed S3 bucket in External Sevices?

@BuiltByElly got it through someone I know, they needed a test platform for their institute and reached out and the architecture diagram is made on eraser.io

@Rishikesh04code How did you get your first client and which software is this pls?

@LostDevraj haha vibe coding is fun until it isn't :) just pick one architecture pattern for example MVC pattern , routes, controllers, models. simple and clean... and start building, architecture clicks when you actually build..

@Rishikesh04code i vibecode and not having and proper architecture pissing me off and i don't have enough knowledge to do it 🤡

@abhishkx thanks! solid offer honestly.... it's a client project so cant open it up fully right now, but would love to stay connected...might collab on something open source soon :)

@Rishikesh04code Looks likea solid problem your working on! Im a dev too can be any help to contribute in it? I have experience in building backends which eoesnt break 💪

@OMHARSH270171 agree, services layer for business logic and separate validation keeps controllers thin and clean... currently following MVC pattern, planning to introduce services layer as the product scales...

@Rishikesh04code After controllers we can add services as well to keep the heavy lifting in the services files, a validation file to validate the incoming data.. i think this would implement separation of concern and follow the SOLID principles in the architecture and coding as well?

@codezera11 thankss!!

@Rishikesh04code congrats

@_karnaditya thanks bhaii :)

@Rishikesh04code Crazyyy bhai

@SmallSilverBack good point! but documenting the development process publicly, not any institute data or student info. no real data, no sensitive details ,just the tech, architecture and build journey..

@Rishikesh04code is it safe to document everything publicly?? You said they're a private institute

@debojeetbuilds sure, let's connect

@Rishikesh04code I am a developer too and would love to connect 🥂
