Task Manager Project 🚀

Description 📝

The Task Manager Project is a web application designed to help users manage their tasks efficiently.

🔴 Currently working on this project

The task we were given in school:

To develop a web service using Docker Compose that has a frontend and a backend with two phases - build and production. The web service must have authentication and authorization to the OpenID provider, which is in the same infrastructure. Also, must store user data in a DBMS cluster through a load balancer.

Technologies Used 🛠️

Frontend

• Next.js: A React framework for production that includes features like server-side rendering and static site generation.

Backend

• Flask: A lightweight WSGI web application framework in Python.

Database

• MariaDB Galera Cluster: A synchronous multi-master cluster for MariaDB.

Authentication

• Keycloak: An open-source identity and access management solution.

Load Balancing

• MaxScale: A database proxy for MariaDB that provides load balancing and query routing.

Containerization

• Docker: Used for creating, deploying, and running applications in containers.
• Docker Compose: Used for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

Functionality 💡

• Task Management: Users can create, edit, and delete tasks. Tasks can be categorized, prioritized, and tracked for completion.
• User Authentication: Secure login and registration using Keycloak.
• Database Management: High availability and fault tolerance using a MariaDB Galera cluster.
• Load Balancing: Efficient load distribution across database servers using MaxScale.

Setup ⚙️

The application is containerized using Docker, allowing for easy setup and deployment. The project includes the necessary Docker configuration files to orchestrate the services.

Running the Application ▶️

1. Frontend: The Next.js application provides the user interface.
2. Backend: The Flask application handles the business logic.
3. Database: The MariaDB Galera cluster ensures data consistency and high availability.
4. Authentication: Keycloak manages user authentication and authorization.
5. Load Balancing: MaxScale handles load balancing and query routing for the database cluster.

Deployment 🚢

The project can be easily deployed using Docker Compose, which sets up all necessary services in their respective containers, ensuring they can communicate with each other seamlessly.
