The Challenge

"Auto service centers struggle with manual scheduling and disjointed communication, leading to operational inefficiencies."

Architectural Solution

Client-Server architecture with a React (Vite) frontend and Express.js REST API. Uses Firebase for secure identity management and Mongoose for MongoDB data interactions.

Engineering Deep Dive

An inside look at the structural decisions, trade-offs, and scaling plans devised during implementation.

Context & Constraints

  • Solves scheduling bottlenecks for local auto repair shops.
  • Built with the MERN stack and Firebase for enhanced security.
  • Modular architecture ready for future payment processing integration.

Architecture Trade-offs

Chose Firebase for rapid development and security over custom JWT. Combined Material UI and Bootstrap to accelerate UI delivery.

Database Modeling

Relational modeling in MongoDB with core collections for Users, Appointments, and Services, utilizing document references.

Scaling Plan

Integration of Redis caching for service catalogs and microservices separation for heavy load balancing.
