TVGP = Tetris Verein Gruppen Projekt

Authors:

• Adrian Dimaano

This project serves as a hyper experimental sandbox to learn technical ins and outs of software engineering.

Product goal:

• CV / Portfolio Page
• WebApp Calender (for Volleyball club activity administrations)

Some meta goals:

• Learning architectural design.
• Learning how to set up CI / CD from the ground up.
• Learning the process of functional design and development.
• Practicing collaborative development, coding, testing, intergration and troubleshooting.
• Experimenting with and on different stacks

(Re-)Build and Run the project

To run a local docker "cluster" and spin up the whole TVGP app with all its web services, just run:

"docker compose up --build" from root (thats the highest level directory of the repository)

you may also run: "docker compose up (--build) -d" if you docker to run in the background (not see all the docker output)

Ctrl+C will have you exit Docker and "docker compose down" will stop all containers and shutdown the application.

Notes

In the future, it is also possible to break each entity up into its own repository for real even more isolated services. And this as "Umbrella" repository that uses each service as sub-module.

ToDos

I'd like to reimplement parts of this web app in a few different ways. Namely in different frameworks.

So we get to know each tool currently used in the industry and all possible development environments.

To experiment further it shall be possible to dynamically / in runtime switch from one framework to another. Meaning we are aiming for a "dynamic stack". It will help us experience most possible environments with their advantages / disadvantages. It is also hard proof that "yes, I am able to develop in all those."

frontend frameworks

• VueJS
• ReactJS + NextJS (WIP)
• AngularJS
• Svelte

backend frameworks

• Flask (WIP)
• Django
• FastAPI
• Spring Boot
• Kotlin
• NodeJS + ExpressJS + NestJS

databases

• MongoDB (WIP)
• Postgres

Other ToDos

Additionally, other functionalities can be introduced. Also expedite some into services with their own framework, language, tooling etc.

• C++ Service to know CMake
• Coolify for online hosting --> Hosted it raw without a server. Used Caddy for reverse proxy. Running on Oracle Server.
• Python container with LLM / AI model
• Learn to use Poetry
• Sentry implementation for Monitoring and Error handling
• Use a global linter maybe super linter
• Expedite the automated integration into a Jenkins service

Online ToDos:

Networking / Ports:

Harden OpenSSH Setup Authentification Setup HTTPS connection with Caddy Setup Firewall

Maybe use traefik image for reverse proxy and load balancing, and include that in docker / repo? Maybe use watchtower image for automated git pull / updates?
