Each solution covers different technology stacks, catering to different preferences, scalability needs, and project requirements. + +--- + +## Solutions Overview + +| **Backend** | **Frontend** | **Best Suited For** | **Key Benefits** | +|-------------|--------------|---------------------|------------------| +| Node.js + Express.js | React Native | Cross-platform mobile apps with shared codebase | Fast development, Full-stack JavaScript | +| Django (Python) | Flutter | Beautiful cross-platform mobile apps with fast backend setup | Quick API setup, High-performance UI | +| Spring Boot (Java) | Kotlin (Android) / Swift (iOS) | Enterprise-level apps with full control over native features | Robust microservices, Full native performance | + +--- + +## Solution 1: Node.js + Express.js (Backend) & React Native (Frontend) + +Node.js and Express.js provide a lightweight and scalable backend for handling API requests and middleware. React Native enables cross-platform mobile development using JavaScript and the React library. + +### Reference Architecture: +- **[Node.js Architecture Guide](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/getting-started-guide/)** +- **[React Native Documentation](https://reactnative.dev/docs/getting-started)** + +### Key Features: +- **Scalable backend** using Express.js. +- **Cross-platform frontend** with a single codebase for iOS and Android. +- **JavaScript full-stack** development with shared components. + +```bash +# Clone this repo +git clone https://github.com/your-repo.git +cd your-repo + +# Install backend dependencies +cd backend +npm install + +# Install frontend dependencies +cd ../frontend +npm install +``` + +--- + +## Solution 2: Django (Python) (Backend) & Flutter (Frontend) + +Django, a high-level Python framework, simplifies backend development with a powerful ORM and admin panel.
