Meet App
A Case Study in Serverless Architecture and Test-Driven Development
Project Pitch:
As part of my CareerFoundry training, I was tasked with building a serverless, progressive web application (PWA)...
My Role
Sole Developer
Responsible for TDD, serverless functions, API integration, and PWA features.
Duration
~6 Weeks
(July 2025 – August 2025)
Tech Stack
- React
- Progressive Web App (PWA)
- Serverless (AWS Lambda)
- Google Calendar API
- OAuth2
- Test-Driven Development (TDD)
- Jest & React Testing Library
The Process & Challenges
The core of this project was not just to build a functional app, but to build it using a specific, professional methodology (TDD) and a modern, secure architecture (serverless).
Challenge 1: Architecture
Implementing a Secure, Serverless API using AWS Lambda...
Visual Proof: Serverless Function
Challenge 2: Development Methodology
Adhering to Strict TDD using Jest and React Testing Library...
Visual Proof: Test-Driven Development
Challenge 3: Functionality
Offline Capability & Data Visualization (PWA)...
Visual Proof: PWA & Data Visualization
The Final Solution
The result is a fully functional, installable PWA that provides real-world event data.
Key Learnings & Future Steps
Key Learnings
This project was a deep dive into the "test-first" mindset...
Future Steps
- Allow users to save or "favorite" events
- Implement push notifications for saved events
- Improve data visualization with more chart types
