Building the MVP/Tech Stack

I originally started RateYourStyle to have a project to practice a new frontend framework with - astroJS. But the more I thought about the idea behind RateYourStyle, the more excited I became and learning astro was taking too long. So I went with the tools I already know well - which is NextJS/React and GoLang for the backend. I built an MVP in about a week.

The final tech stack I went with for RateYourStyle:

• GoLang (server)
• NextJS (frontend framework)
• Data is being stored as JSON files in GCS and indexed in-memory via the server 😂 (using an unconventional data store but I'm really enjoying the flexibility. might come back to bite later but for now, loving it)
• Deployed via Google Cloud Run
• Version controlled via Git
