gym-tracker-node-server

Server for the React Native gym tracker app.

TLDR Description

A Node-Express-Mongo (mongoose) server hosted on AWS EC2. Mongo is hosted on Monog Atlas.

Description

This is part of a React Native app hosted on AWS. The database is a MongoDB database hosted on Mongo Atlas, accessed through this Node-Express server (running on an AWS EC2 instance). The initial inspiration for this project was to open up my gym data so I can monitor my fitness and gym performance more closely, importing it into a database for trend analysis (which will form another project).

Technologies Used:

• Node
• Express
• MongoDB
• AWS EC2
• Mongo Atlas

What I would do differently:

• Host the Node server on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• Implement unit testing from the beginning.

Future plans (in no particular order):

• User authentication.
• Add password hashing.
• CORS.
• Enfore HTTPS.
• Move the Node server from EC2 to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• Google and Facebook authentication.
