Comprehensive Backend Development for Pet App

Backend Development for Pet Hub App Project Description: Build the backend infrastructure for our Pet Hub app, a platform designed to streamline pet care management. The backend should support features for user authentication, data storage, and seamless interaction with the app’s frontend (already developed in Flutter). Key Responsibilities: 1. User Management: • Implement user authentication (signup, login, and password recovery). • Handle roles/permissions for different user types (e.g., pet owners, app owner). 2. Database Setup: • Design and implement a scalable database to store user, pet, bet records, and application data. • Integrate with cloud-based databases (e.g., AWS RDS, Firebase Firestore, or MongoDB). 3. API Development: • Develop RESTful or GraphQL APIs to handle: • User profile and pet management. • Appointment scheduling and reminders. • Notifications and alerts (e.g., reminders for vaccinations or medications). • Access to the vet locator, gift shop, and other app features. • Ensure APIs are optimized for performance and security. 4. Integration with Frontend: • Ensure seamless integration with the Flutter frontend using appropriate API endpoints. • Provide clear API documentation for frontend integration. 5. Push Notifications: • Set up push notification services (e.g., Firebase Cloud Messaging) for reminders and updates. 6. Scalability and Security: • Design the backend to handle future scaling as user demand grows. • Implement industry-standard security measures (e.g., data encryption, secure API keys). Deliverables: • Fully functioning backend with all features integrated. • Clear API documentation for frontend use. • Deployment to cloud platform (e.g., AWS, Firebase). • Basic testing and debugging to ensure smooth functionality. Technologies Preferred: • Cloud Platforms: AWS (S3, RDS, EC2, ) and Firebase. • Backend Frameworks: Node.js, [login to view URL], Django, or Flask. • Database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. Budget: $500 Timeline: 3–4 weeks. Include integration with payment gateways for in-app purchases and services. The backend should primarily use RESTful APIs. Please use AWS and Firebase for deployment. Include integration with Google Maps for vet locator and other location-based services. Include Stripe and apple/google payment integration for payment processing.
