The frontend of this project is built using React.js, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. TypeScript enhances code quality and provides better type safety. Zod is used for data validation, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
The backend, powered by Cloudflare Workers, ensures low latency and high performance globally. Authentication is implemented using JWT tokens to secure endpoints and validate user access.
PostgreSQL serves as the database management system, providing reliability and scalability. Prisma is used as the ORM tool for seamless database interaction and efficient connection pooling.
