Tech Stack: Node.js, Expressjs, MongoDB, Docker, AWS
Live Demo of the website

• Developed a REST API using NodeJS and express.js that performs CRUD operations like sending requested mission data and writing the data to MongoDB, retrieve and delete selected entries form the database.
• Finds out Kepler planets which are habitable from the data provided from Kepler Satelites.
• Communicates w/ the SpaceX REST API to populate the historical data of missions to the MongoDB database.
• Used GitHub Actions to make a continuous integration workflow that builds and tests the code for production.
• Containerized the website using Docker, published it to dockerhub and hosted the container on AWS EC2.
