If you’d like mentor feedback, deploy help, and project reviews while you work, consider joining full stack classes in Mumbai or a hands-on full stack developer course in Mumbai.

Sprint goal (clear & tiny)

Build and deploy one thin, useful feature end-to-end — example: Task Manager with signup/login, create/list tasks, and server-side pagination. Deliverables:

• Live demo URL

• GitHub repo with .env.example

• README + 60s demo video

• 1 integration test + CI badge

Week 0 — Prep (pick tools + repo setup)

• Choose stack: React (frontend) + Node/Express (backend) + Postgres (DB) — or Mongo if you prefer.

• Create repo: /client and /server folders. Add .gitignore and .env.example.

• Add basic README with one-line pitch and planned routes/endpoints.

• Create issues/todo list for MVP features.

Tip: If you want templates, mentoring, or a faster path to polish, try full stack training in Mumbai or a practical full stack course in Mumbai.

Week 1 — Core backend & auth

Day 1–2: Schema & migrations

• Design users and tasks tables/collections. Add user_id, title, status, created_at.

• Add migration scripts.

Day 3–5: Auth basics

• Implement POST /signup (bcrypt password hashing) and POST /login (JWT or HttpOnly cookie).

• Add middleware to protect routes.

Day 6–7: Tasks API (thin slice)

• Implement GET /tasks?limit=10&page=1 and POST /tasks.

• Add validation (Zod/Joi) and consistent error shape.

Deliverable: Working API on localhost with basic tests for auth and tasks.

Week 2 — Frontend & integration

Day 8–10: Auth UI

• Signup and login forms. Store short access token in memory; handle login state.

Day 11–13: Task UI

• Task list (loading/empty/error states), create task form.

• Call GET /tasks with pagination controls.

Day 14: Small polish

• Add client-side validation, friendly error messages, and basic styling.

Deliverable: End-to-end flow working locally: signup → login → create → list.

Week 3 — Tests, CI, and polish

Day 15–17: Tests

• Write 1 integration test for POST /tasks (server-side).

• Add one unit test for a utility function.

Day 18–19: CI pipeline

• Add GitHub Actions: install → lint → test. Add badge to README.

Day 20–21: Performance & DB check

• Add index on (user_id, created_at) for lists; measure query time before/after.

• Document the improvement in README.

Deliverable: Tests passing in CI, measurable DB improvement documented.

Week 4 — Deploy, demo, and apply

Day 22–24: Deploy backend & DB

• Deploy API to Render/Railway/Supabase for Postgres. Set env vars securely.

• Run migrations on production DB.

Day 25–26: Deploy frontend

• Deploy UI to Vercel/Netlify. Point VITE_API_URL to your API domain.

Day 27: Smoke tests & checklist

• Run smoke script: health → signup demo user → create task → list tasks.

Day 28–29: Demo video + README finalization

• Record 60-sec demo (show signup, create, list, note the index improvement). Update README with run steps and .env.example.

Day 30: Apply & share

• Add live links to your resume and LinkedIn. Post a short case study (problem, approach, result). If you want extra polish, mentors in full stack classes in Mumbai help with demo scripts and mock interviews.

Easy checklist (copy/paste)

• Repo with /client and /server

• .env.example and README one-liner

• Auth (signup/login) implemented & protected route

• Tasks: create & paginated list API + UI

• 1 integration test + CI badge

• Deployed FE (Vercel) + BE (Render/Railway) with HTTPS

• 60s demo video and live demo URL in README

Quick troubleshooting tips

• CORS failing? Check allowed origins on server and the exact front-end domain.

• 500 on deploy? Look at platform logs — usually env var or migration step missing.

• Slow lists? Ensure index exists and use LIMIT + OFFSET or cursor pagination.

Next steps after the sprint

• Add one more feature (CSV export, filters, or comments).

• Add a smoke test in CI that runs against a staging preview.

• Practice a 90-second pitch and 3 technical stories from the project.

If you’d like a structured sprint with feedback at each milestone, mentor reviews, and deployment help, explore full stack classes in Mumbai or enroll in a focused full stack course in Mumbai — they turn this 30-day plan into guided, reviewable checkpoints.
