Low-fidelity Wireframe
π‘ Start showing the progress of your design. Share key concepts, sketches, and low-fidelity mockups. Select only key screens to not overwhelm the viewers. Use digital sketches (examples below were created in excalidraw Excalidraw).
[Design concept]
[Describe your concept]
[βοΈ Title of your sketch]
High-fidelity design
π‘ Share high-fidelity mockups for key flows. You can also attach the prototype or a video walkthrough.
[βοΈ Title of your image]
Design system π¨
π‘ If you've created or used a design system for this project like ShadCN or Custom Design System, you can add it here
[Describe why you needed to use a design system and how you utilized it to develop.]
Development Phase
Technology Stack Selection
π‘ Discuss why the Technologies and Tools you used are chosen
[EXAMPLE] 1. Frontend - React.js with TanStack Query
Why React.js?
Component-Based Architecture: Enables reusable UI components, making the frontend modular and maintainable.
Efficient UI Updates: Uses a virtual DOM for faster rendering and smooth user interactions.
Rich Ecosystem: Vast library support and active community ensure continued improvements.
Why TanStack Query for Data Fetching?
Automatic Data Synchronization: Keeps inventory data fresh without excessive API calls.
Background Fetching & Caching: Minimizes unnecessary requests by caching data and refetching only when needed.
Optimistic Updates: Ensures real-time responsiveness by updating UI before the server confirms changes.
Error Handling & Retry Logic: Manages network issues gracefully without breaking the user experience.
High-Level Architecture Diagram

Key Features of the Software
π‘ List down the Key Features you implemented in the Software
[Feature 1βEx: Inventory Management]
[Description and the Decisions made in the development here.]
EXAMPLE:
1. Database Selection & Schema Design (MongoDB)
Decision: Chose MongoDB as the database for its flexibility in handling dynamic inventory data (e.g., varying product attributes, stock levels, categories).
Implementation:
Designed a schema with embedded documents where possible (e.g., storing stock details within product documents to reduce query complexity).
Used indexes on frequently searched fields (e.g., productName, category, SKU). ]
Challenges Faced and Solutions
π‘ Write down the challenges you faced and how you solved
[EXAMPLE] Problem:
In our inventory management system, multiple users were updating stock levels simultaneously, causing race conditions and inconsistent data. Additionally, frequent database writes from high-traffic transactions led to performance bottlenecks.
[EXAMPLE] Solution:
We implemented Optimistic Concurrency Control (OCC) and WebSockets (Socket.io) to handle real-time updates efficiently:
Versioning in MongoDB: Used a version field to track changes and prevent race conditions. Updates were applied only if the stored version matched the client's version.
WebSocket Notifications: Instead of repeatedly polling the database, we pushed live updates to clients using WebSockets.
Redis Caching for Stock Reads: Frequently accessed stock data was cached in Redis, reducing unnecessary database queries.
