Groups and roles

Your cohort will be split into project groups of 4-6 trainees from different tracks. You will collaborate together with clear separation of roles from the beginning. You will have to work together to make the integration works well (e.g the API between frontend and backend, the DB schema between the data team and backend).

Frontend

The frontend owns the web user interface of the application, design and the user interactions.

Backend

The backend owns the application logic, the HTTP API and the operational database schema.

Data

The data team is responsible of bringing a data source to the application and store it for the backend team to reach out.
