We will choose solutions stacks that will work the best for your projects and will improve project quality.
1. Backend (Server-side) Stack:
- PHP (CodeIgniter Framework):
- Purpose: CodeIgniter is a PHP framework used for building robust web applications. It offers a fast and lightweight solution for developing dynamic websites and applications.
- Key Features:
- MVC architecture (Model-View-Controller) for organizing the code.
- Built-in libraries for common tasks such as database handling, email, session management, and more.
- Support for RESTful APIs, useful for connecting different services or external systems.
- Active community and extensive documentation.
2. Frontend (Client-side) Stack:
- Vue.js Framework:
- Purpose: Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework used to build user interfaces, especially single-page applications (SPAs). It is used for creating interactive web applications with a focus on responsiveness and smooth user experiences.
- Key Features:
- Two-way data binding, making it easier to update the user interface based on data changes.
- Component-based architecture for better code organization and reusability.
- Integration with other libraries or existing projects is easy and flexible.
- Ecosystem includes tools like Vuex for state management, Vue Router for navigation, and Vue CLI for project setup and management.
3. Database Stack:
- MySQL or MariaDB (most common for CodeIgniter projects):
- Used to manage and store application data (e.g., client records, logistics tracking).
- CodeIgniter supports MySQL out-of-the-box with its Active Record class for querying the database.
- Possible Alternatives:
- PostgreSQL: A more feature-rich alternative to MySQL.
- MongoDB: If the application requires NoSQL solutions for flexibility in handling unstructured data.
4. APIs & Web Services:
- RESTful APIs:
- Beone Logistics may use REST APIs to handle communication between the frontend (Vue.js) and the backend (CodeIgniter).
- Common for enabling mobile apps, third-party integrations, or internal services to interact with the system.
- SOAP APIs (possible):
- Some logistics companies may also integrate with shipping or courier APIs (e.g., for package tracking).
5. DevOps & Hosting:
- Web Hosting/Cloud Hosting:
- The backend server could be hosted on cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
- Popular hosting services for PHP applications like CodeIgniter include shared hosting, VPS, or cloud servers.
- Version Control:
- Git is widely used for code versioning and collaboration, integrated with platforms like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
- CI/CD Pipelines (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment):
- Tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI could be used for automating testing and deployment.
6. User Interface & Design:
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript (vanilla):
- Basic web technologies to build the structure, style, and interactivity of the front-end web pages.
- UI Libraries/Frameworks:
- Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS for responsive design.
- Custom design components or libraries within the Vue.js framework.
7. Communication & Notifications:
- Email Notifications:
- CodeIgniter has built-in email libraries, allowing the application to send updates to users or clients.
- SMS or Push Notifications:
- Services like Twilio or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) might be used for sending real-time SMS or push notifications for tracking and order updates.
8. Analytics & Tracking:
- Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics:
- Used to track website traffic, user behavior, and other analytics data.
- Custom Tracking for Logistics:
- A custom system for real-time package or document tracking integrated with APIs from courier services.
