Day 6-7: Integration & Testing

Comprehensive Testing Strategy:

Unit Testing (80% coverage minimum)

javascript

// Example: Frontend Component Test
describe('ResourceCard', () => {
  test('displays resource information correctly', () => {
    const resource = {
      title: 'React Documentation',
      category: 'Documentation',
      rating: 4.5
    };
    const { getByText } = render(<ResourceCard resource={resource} />);
    expect(getByText('React Documentation')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

Integration Testing

javascript

// Example: API Integration Test
describe('POST /api/resources', () => {
  test('creates resource with valid data', async () => {
    const response = await request(app)
      .post('/api/resources')
      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
      .send(validResourceData);
    expect(response.status).toBe(201);
    expect(response.body).toHaveProperty('id');
  });
});

End-to-End Testing

javascript

// Example: E2E Test with Cypress
describe('Resource Submission Flow', () => {
  it('allows authenticated user to submit resource', () => {
    cy.login();
    cy.visit('/resources/new');
    cy.fillResourceForm(testResource);
    cy.get('[data-cy=submit]').click();
    cy.url().should('include', '/resources/');
    cy.contains(testResource.title);
  });
});

Week 2: Production Deployment & Optimization

COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY --from=builder /app/build /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
EXPOSE 80

Kubernetes Deployment:

yaml

# infrastructure/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment

  name: resource-platform
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: resource-platform

        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: "128Mi"
            cpu: "100m"

      - name: backend
        image: ghcr.io/yourteam/backend:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 3000
        env:

          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: db-credentials
              key: url

Day 11-12: Monitoring & Optimization

Performance Monitoring Setup:

javascript

// backend/src/monitoring/performance.js
const prometheus = require('prom-client');

// Create metrics
const httpRequestDuration = new prometheus.Histogram({
  name: 'http_request_duration_seconds',
  help: 'Duration of HTTP requests in seconds',
  labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status_code']
});

const activeUsers = new prometheus.Gauge({
  name: 'active_users_total',
  help: 'Total number of active users'
});

// Middleware
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  const end = httpRequestDuration.startTimer();
  res.on('finish', () => {
    end({ method: req.method, route: req.route?.path, status_code: res.statusCode });
  });
  next();
});

:dart: Deployment Strategy

Production Deployment Checklist

Pre-deployment
- All tests passing
- Security scan completed
- Performance benchmarks met
- Documentation updated
- Database migrations prepared
Deployment Process
- Create release tag
- Deploy to staging
- Run smoke tests
- Deploy to production
- Monitor metrics
Post-deployment
- Verify all services
- Check error rates
- Monitor performance
- Update status page

Monitoring Setup

javascript

// monitoring/alerts.js
const alerts = {
  highErrorRate: {
    condition: 'rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m]) > 0.05',
    severity: 'critical',
    action: 'page-oncall'
  },
  highLatency: {
    condition: 'histogram_quantile(0.95, http_request_duration_seconds) > 2',
    severity: 'warning',
    action: 'slack-notification'
  },
  lowDiskSpace: {
    condition: 'node_filesystem_avail_bytes / node_filesystem_size_bytes < 0.1',
    severity: 'critical',
    action: 'page-oncall'
  }
};

Professional Project Showcase

One. Technical Architecture Presentation

markdown

## System Architecture

### High-Level Overview
[Include architecture diagram showing:]
- Frontend components and routing
- API gateway and microservices
- Database and caching layers
- External service integrations
- CI/CD pipeline flow

### Technology Decisions
- **Frontend**: React chosen for component reusability and ecosystem
- **Backend**: Node.js for JavaScript consistency across stack
- **Database**: PostgreSQL for ACID compliance and complex queries
- **Cache**: Redis for session management and API response caching
- **Container**: Docker for consistent deployment environments
