Assignment: Full-Stack CRUD Application Development with DevOps Practices

Objective

You have been provided with a starter project that includes user authentication using Node.js, React.js, and MongoDB. Your task is to extend this application by implementing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for a real-world application of your choice, while following industry best practices such as:

• Project Management with JIRA
• Requirement Diagram using SysML
• Version Control using GitHub
• CI/CD Integration for Automated Deployment

Requirements

1. Choose a Real-World Application

Select a meaningful use case for your CRUD operations. We will provide the list, you have to select it.

2. Project Management with JIRA and SysML

• Create a JIRA project and define:
  • Epic
  • User Stories (features required in your app)
  • Child issues & Subtasks (breaking down development work)
  • Sprint Planning (organizing work into milestones)
• Document your JIRA board URL in the project README.
• Draw a requirements diagram

3. Backend Development (Node.js + Express + MongoDB)

• Create a user-friendly interface to interact with your API (Some portion developed, follow task manager app)).
• Implement forms for adding and updating records.
• Display data using tables, cards, or lists (Follow how we showed data in task manager app)

4. Frontend Development (React.js)

• Create a user-friendly interface to interact with your API (Some portion developed, follow task manager app).
• Implement forms for adding, showing, deleting and updating records (CRUD).
• Display data using tables, cards, or lists (Follow how we showed data in task manager app)

5. Authentication & Authorization

• Ensure only authenticated users can access and perform CRUD operations. (Already developed in your project)
• Use JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for user authentication (Use the task manager one from .env file).

6. GitHub Version Control & Branching Strategy

• Use GitHub for version control and maintain:
  • main branch (stable production-ready code)
  • Feature branches (feature/xyz) for each new functionality
• Follow proper commit messages and pull request (PR) reviews .

7. CI/CD Pipeline Setup

• Implement a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to:
  • Automatically run tests on every commit/pull request (Optional).
  • Deploy the backend to AWS .
  • Deploy the frontend to AWS.
• Document your CI/CD workflow in the README .

Submission Requirements

• JIRA Project Board URL (user stories ).

• Requirment diagram (Using project features)

• GitHub Repository (backend/ and frontend/).

• README.md with:

  • Project setup instructions.
  • CI/CD pipeline details.
