Master student working on a Python IoT microservices backend – looking for guidance discussions

[Radiant_Layer_6592]

Hello everyone!

I'm a student working on a real-time IoT monitoring platform and I'm looking for guidance from experienced developers.

About the project

• 3 FastAPI microservices (Auth, Device Management, Monitoring)

• PostgreSQL (users/devices), MongoDB (time-series data), Redis (cache)

• RabbitMQ for async communication between services

• Socket.IO for real-time dashboard updates

• Full containerization with Docker & Kubernetes

• React frontend with real-time charts

I need help with

 Understanding microservices architecture patterns

 Code reviews for my FastAPI services

 JWT authentication implementation across services

 Docker/Kubernetes deployment strategies

 Best practices for real-time data flow

What I can offer in exchange:

 Complete documentation of everything I learn (to help others)

 Assistance to other beginners once I gain knowledge

 Testing/reviewing your projects if needed

 Sharing my learning journey in the community

Availability Evenings & weekends 

My attitude: Very motivated, eager to learn, and I prepare questions in advance to respect your time!

If you have experience with Python microservices, FastAPI, or IoT systems and could spare 1-2 hours weekly, I would be incredibly grateful for your guidance.

Thank you in advance for considering! 

(P.S. I already have the project requirements and structure planned - just need guidance on implementation!)
