Tech Stack

Frontend: Angular

Backend: Go 1.15

Features

• Deployment on Heroku I decided to deploy this app on heroku, because heroku makes it easy.
• MongoDB I choosed non-relational database mongoDB, because its interesting alternative for classing relationals DB's like SQL, Postresql etc. Mongo is really fast database, based on documents and collections.
• JWT Authorization I decided to use JSON Web Token for authorize app users. This solution is more secure than the session-based examples like in PHP.
• UUID This project contains ID's which are not increment values, but random strings 128-bit length. This solution prevents ID's duplication.
