Overview

Mathdecks is a full-stack web application allowing users to create and share study aids with native support for LaTeX-style markup. The site was built with Node, Express, Svelte, and MongoDB, and is containerized using Docker and Docker Compose for seamless deployment.

Learning Goals

I set out to create Mathdecks to deepen my understanding of:

1. Scalable microservice architectures
2. Containerization and orchestration of Node applications with Docker and Docker Compose
3. The implementation of authentication servers using JWTs

Deployment

Configure each service's .env file. Then, at the project's root, run:

docker-compose up --build -d
