Project Planning - Week 1

[bymayanksingh]

Check how the current GPS Tracking Systems work, what can be improved in them and how we can adopt those improvements in our project.

Backend

• Plan out the API design.
• Make an API Contract with example responses to help in the frontend implementation.
• Check how GPS devices deliver data
• Check how we'll hard code GPS data and what will be the request response format to be used

Frontend

• Design UI Mockups
• Think extensively about the UX
• Check which MAP API will be suitable and what are the features of paid/free APIs

Database

• Based on above observations check if the data will be relational or non relational. ( choose stack accordingly )
• Perform low level system design and database design.
• take note of the fact, If we were actually using the real time data, how we will go about designing things. (do exactly that)

Github Workflow

• make sure to have working master branch always, don't push code directly there.
• instead maintain development and production branch
• push code through feature branches, have a consistent naming in commit messages.
• If possible use TDD from the start.
• setup Continuous Integration and Code Testing tools

NOTE: this will be expanded as soon as I come up with new todos.
