+# BotaniQue Backend
+
+## Overview
+
+BotaniQue is a project designed to simplify plant care by providing real-time monitoring and insights into plant conditions. This backend server is a key part of the BotaniQue ecosystem, supporting data processing, real-time updates, and integration with cloud services.

+* IoT Device (Smart Plant Pot): An ESP32 microcontroller with sensors for soil moisture, air humidity, temperature, and light, and an OLED screen for displaying the plant's mood.
+* Mobile App (Frontend application): Developed in Flutter, it allows users to manage plants and view their conditions.
+* Backend Server: Processes data from the IoT device, determines plant health, and provides real-time updates to the mobile application as well as handling authentication, data storage and business logic for the mobile   app.
+
+## Technologies Used
+
+* Programming Language: .NET 8 (backend)
+* MQTT Broker: Flespi
+* Database: PostgreSQL
+* WebSockets(using Fleck): For real-time communication
+* Azure Cognitive Services: Azure vision for background removal from images
+* Azure Blob Storage: For image storage
