Technologies Used
We used a combination of tech stacks to create a fast application with great UI and UX.
Next.js
We chose Next.js as it is fast and provides efficient server-side rendering. This means better performance across the app and more SEO friendliness.
Redux
We used Redux as our state management tool. This is because it gives a centralized, immutable store and a unidirectional data flow that makes the state updates consistent.
TypeScript
TypeScrip was chosen primarily for the optional static type-checking. This helps in catching errors early in the development process. Additional perks are robust interfaces, classes, and modules.
React Query
React-Query allowed us to handle and manage network requests with ease. This simplified the handling of loading and error states, refreshing data, and automatic caching.
Tailwind CSS
Tailwind CSS allowed us to keep the design consistent throughout the entire app. This was done by utilizing a standard set of CSS classes.
Node.js
Node.js allowed us to use the same language for both the front-end and back-end. This meant that the development team could work simultaneously on the frontend and backend.
Hasura
Using Hasura cloud allowed us to improve the development and deployment process thanks to its GraphQL API capabilities, easy-to-use interface, and automatic database migration feature.
GraphQL
GraphQL was our query language. It allowed us to handle complex and evolving data requirements with ease.
WebSockets
Using WebSockets allowed the app to handle multiple simultaneous connections efficiently. It also allowed real-time, two-way communication between the application and its users.
Twilio
Twillio allowed us to improve the video call functionality of the app. This gave real-time audio and video processing features, along with recording options, and easy integration.
Cloudinary
Cloudinary allowed us to store, retrieve, and manipulate the data type stored in the application. It also provided centralized storage and efficient media management perks.
FullCalendar
We used the FullCalendar npm package to give doctors the option to showcase their availability. It allowed physicians to create timeslots and manage requests.
RazorPay
RazorPay was our primary payment flow. It allowed patients to pay for their appointments using a method of their choice — credit/debit cards, UPI, and e-wallets.
Nodemailer
Nodemailer is used for sending emails. This allows users to send OTPs for validating users during initial sign-up, reducing fraudulent sign-ups.
