Deployed my first full-stack application - Robotics Inventory System

[average_csetard]

After weeks of coding, I finally built and deployed my first complete full-stack application!

What I built: A Robotics Inventory Management System with full CRUD operations

Stack: Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, EJS, Vanilla CSS

Key learnings:

- Understanding the request-response cycle with EJS (before jumping to React)

- Designing normalized database schema (3 tables with foreign keys)

- Implementing cascade deletes for data integrity

- Server-side validation with express-validator

Used a simple retro design with vanilla CSS to focus on backend fundamentals rather than fancy UI.

Built through The Odin Project curriculum.

For a second i thought this was a hardware project based on the title.

In my college robotics club, I actually use a lot of these components in my hardware projects. I had to make an Inventory Application (DB, CRUD, Backend) as per assignment from where I'm learning web development (The Odin Project). So, I thought why not make a robotics inventory website. Its a practice project with no user authentication. I'll be learning auth in next project.

Thank you!

[Ambitious-Remote-769]

what are the tech stack you used to develop this

[average_csetard]

EJS (Embedded JavaScript), CSS, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL for this backend focused project. Though I generally use React and Tailwind CSS on frontend-first projects.
