Technical Challenges:

• Third party acquisition and implementation of map API
• Integrating third party API with hardcoded database
• Store(s) rendering on "Near Me" map feature, based on list items
• Creating Dummy Walmart API
• Integrating shopping feature to show price of all list items
• Real-time updating

Stack:

• Express
• Postgres
• Google Map API
• Prisma
  • This backend stack build provides the app with an efficient and well-structured database, storing, logic, and sound security for its users. This build harnesses the data relational capabilities of Postgres and Prisma to enable a reliable database upon which the app can properly store and supply data to and from the frontend. This is substantiated by Express providing a solid framework for API's, requests, responses, and the server to handle the demands of the backend to ensure the app is running properly.
