  • Real-Time Websockets: Ultra-fast, bidirectional event-based communication utilizing ws.
  • Location Storage: All location requests are securely persisted and actively managed via MongoDB.
  • REST APIs: Full integration with backend routing controllers to handle user acceptances and map generations.

🛠️ Built With

  • Frontend Scripting: Vanilla JS interfacing closely with Socket APIs.
  • Backend Setup: Node.js, Express.js
  • Database Architecture: MongoDB cluster & Mongoose.
