Motivation

This is my first full-stack project to build from scratch. This project is mainly for me to experiment different technologies and learn about the integration between, frontend, backend and database.

1. Frontend
The popularity of Vue.js is rising quickly in recent years, being a React.js developer, I want to dive deeper to see the mechanics behind Vue.js.

2. Backend
Spring Boot has always been a solid choice for the backend, by building the backend from scratch, I want to brush up on the best practice and see what Spring Boot has to offer.

3. Database
MongoDB has always been a popular choice for NoSQL databases, coming from a SQL background, I want to learn the pros and cons of NoSQL.

4. DevOps
CI/CD could provide much convenience when developing an application, with that said, I integrated with GitHub Action, Docker and AWS for the deployment pipeline.
