Day 0:
TL;DR: Set up the basic foundations for a new system: database schema finalized, core backend modules scaffolded, and initial API contracts defined. The real work begins now.
No hype. Just building.
Today we worked on building the core backend infrastructure for a cloud-native insurance platform. Key points:
Modular microservices architecture based on NestJS
PostgreSQL schemas designed for flexibility — no hardcoded values, all dynamic
Using TypeScript with ESM modules for better code organization
Setting up communication patterns between backend and Next.js frontend
Focus on scalability and simplicity in cloud deployment
This lays a solid foundation for a system built from scratch to replace legacy solutions and support future growth.
