This is a simple app that displays the price of commodities over time.

• Backend API: Flask

Sample backend API view on Azure: https://pricepulseapi.azurewebsites.net/api/index

• NGINX on React frontend
• Gunicorn on Flask backend

• Likely an API key in this somewhere, didn't .env everything when I should have
• First time using Flask to such a degree, would be more familiar with Django for such a setup but wanted to try it out
• First time using Tailwind for styles, responsive elements tripped me up somewhat
• Tried to get it on Azure with Docker Compose, had to switch to just single docker containers and didn't get frontend up
• Didn't get to finish filtering the chart view on 1D, 1M, etc
• All historial prices are faked, no free API to get 40+ commodities going back a year
• Was planning to setup event scheduler to run on add_latest_commodity_prices.py, hit API limit x2
• Was planning websockets to update prices on site in realtime
• Was planning to add better UI / Logic for price alerts, i.e. up/down on the figure
• Was planning to lock up the API, i.e. only allow requests from the frontend, only users get full data, etc
• Add UI for price alerts in frontend
• Didn't complete a visual for the DB Schema
