Overview

This project involved creating a sophisticated backend system for an advanced transportation management platform. The platform handles various features including check-in/check-out processes, overtime calculations, working hours, salary calculations, role management, and vehicle assignment. The system is hosted on an AWS Lightsail server with DirectAdmin, optimized for security, performance, and scalability. Additionally, I developed APIs for a companion mobile app, facilitating seamless interaction between the drivers and the system.

Key automation processes such as auto checkout at midnight via Cron jobs, email notifications, and detailed salary calculations were implemented to ensure a smooth and efficient operation. The system’s deployment on AWS Lightsail allows for high availability and scalability, catering to the dynamic needs of the transportation business.

Code Structure

This project was developed with a focus on modularity and scalability, following industry best practices. Transactional operations ensure data integrity across critical processes, with robust error handling mechanisms in place. The architecture includes a comprehensive use of service containers and traits, keeping the codebase maintainable and reusable. Middleware is used extensively for handling cross-cutting concerns such as authentication and role management. Cron jobs are scheduled using the Laravel Scheduler to automate critical tasks like auto checkout and email notifications. The API endpoints were built with RESTful principles, ensuring clear and efficient communication between the mobile app and the backend.
