Overview

Hamstergram is a basic small CRUD application demonstrating very basic social media functionality. It implements a few functionalities but nothing too complex. Posting text and liking posts is about its limits for now.

Hamstergram is built on a JAMstack, using a dockerable Node.JS back-end API with minimal configuration, and a Vue.JS front-end which can be hosted in a static bucket.

User Stories

1. As a hamster, I want to sign up to a platform so I can connect with other the hamsters on the network
2. As a social hamster, I want to be able to share posts with hamsters in the network
3. As a social hamster I want the hamsters in the network to like my posts

Implementation

For this implementation, I picked the following stack:

• Vue.JS for the front-end, as I find it clean, succinct, and consistent
• Node.JS for the back-end, a DDD express API with PassportJS for authorization
• Google Auth, as it is the most widely accepted and standards compliant
• MongoDB with Mongoose, as it is most applicable to Adepto's technical goals
• Docker to wrap it all up nicely
• Monorepo to keep the services together
• AWS S3 for the static website

Installation
