Architecture

Architecture

The basic architecture of Suggest Feature consists of the following components:

• Java Backend Server: The core backend logic and APIs.

• Next.js Portal App: This is the end-user-facing portal where users can submit feedback, feature requests, bug reports, and interact with the roadmap.

• Next.js Admin App: This is where admins can monitor, manage feedback, and configure settings.

Prerequisites

To deploy Suggest Feature, you'll need the following services and credentials set up:

1. Email Service

• Currently, only AWS SES is supported for email handling (e.g., notifications, verification).

• Other providers will be added in the future.

2. MongoDB

• A MongoDB instance is required for managing the application's data.

3. Object Storage

• Currently, Cloudflare R2 is supported for uploading attachments and user profile pictures.

• S3 or other providers may be supported in the future.

4. SSO (Single Sign-On) Credentials

• If you plan to enable Google and Facebook SSO for users, obtain the necessary credentials for these providers.

Domain and CNAME Setup

• Feedback Portal: Map your custom domain (CNAME) to the location where you host your Next.js portal app. This is where users will interact with the feedback and feature request platform.

• Admin Portal: Similarly, map another custom domain (CNAME) to the location of your Next.js admin app. This is where admin activities and management take place.
