Project Description

This is a back-end project designed to explore the fundamentals of exposing queries through GraphQL in order to develop an app that integrates microservices. OK, Cryptid opens a world of mystery with the thrill of being able to find trails near cryptid sightings. Users can read details of a cryptid as well as review recent sightings. Data is manually added to the seeds file and persisted to the BE database.

Learning Goals for Project:

Explicit

  • Utilize GraphQL
  • Collaborate with a FE team
  • Implement CircleCI

Implicit

  • Project planning
  • Reading/Writing documentation
  • Time Management/Prioritizing Work
  • Break down large project goals into manageable steps
  • Implement agile workflows
  • GitHub workflow and project management tools

Versions

  • Ruby 2.7.2
  • Rails 5.2.6
