BookGlobe — Selling Words & Imagination

BookGlobe holds a special place in my journey as it was first full-fledged application which I created & deployed using AWS free tier. Thanks to the free-tier, I became proficient in infrastructure management, deploying the app with Nginx, Docker Swarm + Portainer, and Galera Clustering. If I were to open the project today, I can’t help but chuckle at the code, I wrote back then – it’s pretty bad, but nostalgic. It was written using Angular 8 & Spring Boot 2.2. But, that’s the beauty of growth; looking back & realize how much you’ve evolved since then. It was built on the PWA philosophy, ensuring a seamless experience across devices and platforms.
