Wishduell - A Multiplayer Quiz App
I created this project as part of my studies. It's a multiplayer quiz app implemented using Socket.io.
What was the project’s goal?
The project aimed to give us experience working in a large team (6 people). This included applying more complex Git workflows and learning how to structure a project from the ground up. Additionally, the project was meant to be a real application that could be used by other people.
Which technologies were used?
| Technology | Usage |
|---|---|
| Traefik | Reverse Proxy |
| Sveltekit | Frontend Framework |
| Spring Boot | Backend Framework |
| Socket.io | Realtime Communication |
| PostgreSQL | Database |
| Docker | Containerization |
What were my responsibilities?
- REST Backend with Spring Boot
- Creating and handling Socket Events with Socket.io
- Docker Compose for containerization
- Creating CI/CD pipelines with Gitlab Runners
What I learned
Through collaboration in a relatively large team, I learned the importance of having a structured workflow, such as creating issues. Learning Docker and Docker Compose was also very helpful in making the initialization of the development environment easy for every team member. Additionally, I got to learn many new technologies, such as websockets and reverse proxies.
