Task Manager App - MERN Stack

Overview

Task Manager App is a full-stack web application developed using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. It supports user authentication and CRUD operations on tasks. The user data is stored in MongoDB for authentication, while AWS DynamoDB is used for task-related operations. The server is hosted on AWS Lambda, and the React frontend is hosted on AWS Amplify.

Features

• User Authentication:

  • Register new users with MongoDB.
  • Authenticate users securely.

• Task Operations:

  • Create, Read, Update, and Delete tasks.
  • Tasks are stored in AWS DynamoDB.

• Serverless Architecture:

  • Backend server is hosted on AWS Lambda for scalability and cost-effectiveness.

• Frontend Hosting:

  • React frontend is hosted on AWS Amplify for easy deployment and continuous integration.
