Technical interviews are hard.
They're even harder when you do them alone.
PeerPrep aims to solve this by allowing you to simulate interviews and collaborate real time with your peers!
Take a sneak peek at our collaboration space down below:
PeerPrep is a microservices web application built with the latest tech stack. If you want to take a look at our architecture and other design considerations, do check out our report below!
Our website is hosted online with DigitalOcean and can be accessed by clicking here. (Unfortunately, we are most likely going to stop hosting it soon!)
You are able to run our application locally.
However, to do so, you will require the .env file for each backend microservices in order to connect to MongoDB.
Kindly obtain the .env file from a project member if you wish to run the application locally.
The fields needed in our .env file is given as such, please double check to see that you have all necessary fields.
ENV={...}
DB_CLOUD_URI={...}
TOKEN_SECRET={...}
Insert the .env file into the root of the folders user-service, matching-service, collaboration-service, question-service and review-service.
-
Clone the repository.
-
Once cloned, add the respective
.envfiles into the root of each microservice. -
Start a redis instance running on port 6379
-
Run the following in the root of each microservice to install dependecies.
More specifically, in the folders
frontend,user-service,matching-service,collaboration-service,question-serviceandreview-service.npm i -
Spin up the individual microservices by running the commands in the root of each microservice.
