Coursework

The project briefs.

Two individual assignments and one group brief. Assignment 1 ships a minimal app; Assignment 2 turns it into a proper DevOps pipeline. The group assignment scales the same ideas to a team.

Individual

Assignment 1 — minimal application

Pick a simple use case. Ship a working app with at least two of: CRUD, persistent storage, REST endpoints, minimal UI. Document SDLC choice, architecture, and reflection on how it scales.
