Details

Our company currently relies on Google Firebase heavily. This is a Back end as a Service technology. We currently use this with the React front end framework.


As we are growing with our feature set, we are starting to find limitations/restrictions around Firebase stack. One example is how Firebase stack restricts us to implement Open Graph Tags for Social media website previews.


For that reason we are going to migrate our stack into Amazon Web Services and use AWS as a Infrastructure as a Provider. This will allow us to use technologies that are less-locking and more interoperable.


This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Building cloud systems, with our assistance in providing the necessary documents
  • Understand how web systems with application instances, front end components, CDN and data layer works.
  • Understand how application APIs are designed, and can be changed.
  • Providing training on existing cloud service models (BaaS, IaaS, PaaS)

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Performing data migration from different cloud providers.
  • Adding support for Open Graph Tags


Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Working version/copy of our website deployed in AWS, that is not using Firebase. Where our ReactJS is deployed to AWS storage, and using backend APIs in AWS.
  • Learnings along the way, with what was challenging, and what was a technological limitation.
  • Organized handing off documents.

Bonus steps would include:

  • Complete working version of our website, inclusive of our regression tests passing in AWS version
  • Performing data migration from Firebase on AWS
  • Integrating Linkedin Preview on our social media share functionality as a proof that it unlocks our business needs.
  • A final report.


Mentorship

Students will connect directly with seasoned professionals and have a chance to connect with leaders of the tech industry in Canada and USA. They will also be provided with mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to any questions they may have and we will be sure to make them ready for the industry!
