In this capstone project, you will leverage your skills to solve a real-world inspired challenge and craft an effective solution using your expertise in full stack JavaScript development.

This project gives you the chance to reinforce your JavaScript front-end and back-end abilities. You’ll design web front-ends using HTML and CSS, and make them dynamic and interactive using React. You will develop back-end services to connect with a MongoDB database, and set up CI/CD pipelines—all while following Agile and DevOps methodologies.

Throughout this capstone, you’ll apply in-demand skills, including:

Designing an application architecture
Building a dynamic frontend with HTML, CSS, and the React JavaScript framework
Integrating backend services like NoSQL databases
Implementing DevOps practices such as CI/CD pipelines
Deploying a serverless application on Cloud
Developing and consuming RESTful microservices
Hosting the full solution on the cloud using Kubernetes

By the end of this project, you’ll have a highly functional full-stack application to show potential employers.

Before beginning, we strongly recommend finishing all courses in the IBM Full Stack Developer – JavaScript – Professional Certificate.

In this capstone project, you will:

Design a full-stack web application architecture using JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
Develop a dynamic frontend with React and a scalable backend with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
Integrate RESTful APIs and microservices to enable communication between frontend and backend components.
Implement DevOps best practices by configuring CI/CD pipelines and deploying using containers (Kubernetes) and serverless technologies.
Apply Agile methodologies by creating user stories, conducting iterative development, and testing.
Deploy the full-stack application on a cloud platform and optimize performance for real-world use.
