Cloud-Backup-System

I designed and developed a Cloud Backup System using Node.js, Express, and TypeScript. Implemented secure user registration and authentication functionalities, enhancing system integrity.

I used Redis for efficient session management, ensuring seamless user experience and data persistence in this project. And used PostgreSQL to establish a structured data storage system, enabling organized data retrieval and management.

I used Dropbox API as an alternative to S3 for main file storage, optimizing file handling and accessibility. Empowered users to upload, download, and categorize files, enhancing usability and customization.

I used Docker and Docker Compose to configure three containers (Redis, PostgreSQL, and API), guaranteeing cross-device compatibility and easy deployment. I made sure of high code quality through comprehensive testing using Jest, maintaining system reliability and performance.

  How to run on your localmachine

  1. Make sure you have Docker installed, preferablly through the desktop app
  2. Ensure the docker engine is running
  3. run docker-compose build on your terminal
  4. then docker-compose up
  5. you should be all set up and ready to access the endpoint through localhost:3000
