Full-stack web application using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), with a focus on robust authentication, security features, and scalable deployment using Docker and Kubernetes. The application will offer users the ability to sign up and log in to access various services provided by the platform.
- User Authentication: Secure signup and login functionality with JWT (JSON Web Tokens), session tokens, and HTTP-only, secure cookies.
- Security Enhancements: Implementation of XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection, along with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) policies.
- Dual Database Support: Utilization of both MongoDB and MySQL databases to store and manage application data efficiently.
- Scalable Architecture: Deployment configuration using Docker containers and Kubernetes for orchestration, ensuring the app can scale and manage loads effectively.
- State Management: Use of React.js for the frontend, with Redux for global state management and React Router for navigation.
- Process Management: Integration of PM2 for process management in the Node.js environment, enhancing reliability and uptime.
- Frontend: React.js, Redux, React Router
- Backend: Node.js, Express.js
- Databases: MongoDB, MySQL
- Authentication: JWT, session tokens, cookies
- Security: XSS and CSRF protection, CORS
- Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes, PM2
