The Architecture Diagram:

Relationship is as below:

• One-to-Many Relationship between User and Book (one user can make multiple bookings).
• One-to-One Relationship between Book and Payment (one booking can have only one payment).
• One-to-One Relationship between Book and Package (one booking can be within only one package).

Latest Feature:

- Implemented Intelligent Chabot using Gemini API (Flash 2.0 Model) with restricted safety feature to avoid offensive language:
- I chose to use a Microservice Architecture with Node.js to build the chatbot using the Gemini API because it allows for better scalability, modularity, and easier maintenance. By isolating the chatbot functionality into a separate microservice, it becomes independent from the main application, making it easier to update, debug, and scale as needed. Node.js is ideal for this setup due to its non-blocking, event-driven nature, which enables efficient handling of API requests and real-time communication. This approach also keeps the system flexible and allows other parts of the platform to interact with the chatbot via a simple API call.
