Trivia Titans is a multi-cloud serverless online trivia game that allows users to form teams, compete against other teams in real time, and track their progress on global and category-specific leaderboards.
The primary goal of this project is to comprehend and implement a microservices architecture. Each microservice is created using either AWS or GCP services. The front end is exclusively deployed on GCP Cloud Run, while the backend services operate as Google Cloud Functions or AWS Lambda functions.
Before using this project, you'll need to have the following installed:
- AWS and GCP accounts with permission to use necessary services
- Node version 18.0 or higher
- A text editor (Visual Studio Code, Atom, Sublime Text, etc.)
- Git
