Every project should have something visible:
- dashboard
- web UI
- agent activity panel
- architecture diagram
- logs streaming
- charts
These are not optional polish items. They are part of the project definition.
The base architecture for most projects should look like this:
- Frontend: Next.js / React + Tailwind
- Backend API: FastAPI
- Agent / AI layer: LangChain / LangGraph / AutoGen
- Vector DB: Chroma / Weaviate / Pinecone
- LLM: Ollama / OpenAI / HuggingFace
- Data processing: Python
- Infra simulation: Docker / Kubernetes
- DevOps APIs: GitHub API / AWS SDK / Kubernetes API
- Observability: Prometheus / Grafana
