Next.js is opensource framework that allows you to build server-side rendered React.js applications. It is built on top of Express.js and React.js. It is a great framework for building full-stack applications. It is also very easy to use and has a lot of great features. I used it for this project because it is a great framework for building full-stack applications and it is very easy to use.

• Since Next.js can host both React.js Frontend and Express.js Backend, I did not have to use seperate projects for the frontend and backend.
• This made it easier to deploy the application to Netlify.
• Reference: Next.js

Prisma.js is an open-source ORM that allows you to connect to different databases. It is built on top of Node.js and Typescript. It is a popular ORM widely used over Sequalize, Mongoose.

• With Prisma.js we need not worry about managing the database connections.
• Also we simply declare schema, Prism.js will automatically create manage the tables/collections for us.
• Prisma.js can automatically generate the CRUD operations for both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Reference: Prisma.js
• Reference: Mongoose vs Prisma.js

Reason #1: For Free Cloud Hosting of MongoDB Atlas

• MongoDB Atlas is a cloud-hosted MongoDB service. It is free for small projects.
• Reference: MongoDB Atlas

Reason #2: NoSQL Databases are quickly developing the applicaiton

• NoSQL databases are schema-less. This means that we can add new fields to the database without having to change the schema.
• This makes it easier to develop the application.

• Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework. We just need to write class names and styles are automatically applied

• Chakra UI is a React component library that is built on top of Tailwind CSS.

• With Chakra UI, we get React components like Toasts, Icons, etc.. that we can use to build great UI/UX

• Reference: TailwindCSS
