Architecture of this project

This project is built using React (javascript), .NET (C#) and MySQL. The React side takes care of the client side rendering while the .NET handles the operations in the backend and interacts with the database. The frontend and backend communicates via HTTP requests like POST and GET which will send a json payload to/from each other.
