[Mini LinkedIn - Social Aspect]

Mini LinkedIn is a modern web application built using a plethora of cutting-edge technologies.This application tries to mimic the social media aspect of LinkedIn Platform This project integrates several services and frameworks, leveraging their best features to create a seamless user experience.

Core Technologies

Next.js

Next.js is the backbone of our application. It provides server-side rendering and a framework to build server-rendered React applications.

TypeScript

We have chosen TypeScript as the project's primary language because of its static typing feature, ensuring a safer and more predictable codebase.

Prisma is an open-source database toolkit. It replaces traditional ORMs and streamlines database access with auto-generated queries, benefiting from TypeScript's static typing.

MongoDB

All our data is stored in MongoDB, a NoSQL database, renowned for its flexibility and scalability.

NextAuth

Authentication in this application is handled by NextAuth, a complete open-source authentication solution for Next.js applications. It integrates easily with several OAuth providers.

File storage is managed using AWS S3. It offers a scalable and high-speed object storage service.
