Welcome to the Blog App repository! This full-stack web application empowers users to engage with blogs through various actions, including reading, writing, and commenting. The app employs a robust technology stack: MySQL for database management, React with Chakra UI for the frontend, and Node.js with Express for the backend. Deployment is achieved through AWS services, including RDS, S3, and EC2 with PM2.
-
Database Management: The heart of the app is the MySQL database, where it stores and retrieves blog posts, comments, user data, and authentication details.
-
Backend Power: The backend is powered by Node.js and Express, which manage the API requests and the underlying data. This separation of concerns ensures efficient handling of various functionalities.
-
Secure Authentication: User accounts are managed securely. Users can register, log in, and log out with their credentials. Passwords are hashed and stored securely.
-
Blog Exploration: Users can conveniently browse through the collection of blogs. Each blog preview includes an image, title, and brief description to entice readers.
-
Blog Authorship: Authenticated users can compose and publish their own blogs. This feature encourages community engagement and content creation.
-
Interactive Comments: Users can participate in discussions by posting comments on blogs. This fosters an environment of exchange and learning.
-
AWS Deployment: The app is deployed using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure scalability and availability. AWS RDS is used for the MySQL database, AWS S3 for frontend hosting, and AWS EC2 with PM2 for backend deployment.
