Background
As a milestone project in the RevoU program, the task was to develop a robust backend API for a simulated banking application, 'Revo-Bank'. The focus was on creating secure endpoints, managing financial data, and deploying the application to a live environment.
Strategy & Solution
- Structure the application using Flask Blueprints for modularity.
- Secure user management with JSON Web Tokens using Flask-JWT-Extended.
- Use SQLAlchemy for all database interactions and Pydantic for request validation to ensure data integrity.
- Deploy the final API to both Railway and Render to ensure public accessibility and real-world performance testing.
Responsibilities & Scope
- Authored comprehensive documentation for all banking transaction flows.
- Developed the user management module with 6 core endpoints secured with JWT.
- Engineered account and transaction management services through 7 key endpoints.
- Deployed the 'Revo-Bank' API to Railway and Render using Gunicorn.
Results & Impact
- Achieved 95% coverage of procedural steps in documentation.
- The user management module covered 90% of required functionalities.
- Account and transaction services covered 95% of requirements.
- The API was successfully deployed with 98% of configurations completed, achieving operational status.
