CS373 Spring 2021: William Wang

What did you do this past week?

This week, I started work on the database project with my group. We figured out an interesting idea pretty early on, which allowed us plenty of time to actually get things set up. Currently, I’m working on getting our AWS instance configured, which I made some good progress on so far. I was also able to integrate our Python web app with our React frontend locally.

What’s in your way?

My group and I are having some trouble with getting our domain linked to our AWS server. We followed all the steps to configure all the records with our provider, but it doesn’t seem to be working yet. We have a few more ideas to try, though.

What will you do next week?

As soon as possible, I want to have everything set up on AWS so my group and I can focus on the business logic of our app. Mostly, this will involve setting up a Docker image and linking our GitLab repo with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. I plan to also set up at least one automated test case in the pipeline, which we will be needing as we start writing code.

What did you think of the Single Responsibility Principle?

I got this idea drilled into my head during my first internship, so none of it was that new to me. It’s always interesting to see how so much of software…
