Education_Developer Project Lifecycle

I see a lot of people here on codeblr want to start some project but, not really know the best way to get started. To rectify this, hear is my very in depth guide on how to get started. Read this entire post (some of these are started early but its milestone is later).

Note, I highly suggest the use of Github and will be referencing some things that are specific to it (like Wikipedia pages). If you prefer some other method that's fine just be aware you may be making your life harder than it needs to be.

Milestone 1: Form Teams

Find your people, exchange contact information and determine a time to meet up, consistently. If you are working solo, ignore some of the instructions for this section. That is not to say ignore the parts about consistency and time management. In fact, because you are working solo that should be even more important.

At the first meeting establish chat service (teams, slack, google chat, discord). Establish the frequency of the meetings and how often everyone should check their messages (ex: every 24 hours). Discuss the options about the project.

Platform: Android, django, iOS, react native, etc.

IDE: Xcode, WebStorm, VSCode, etc. Note that modern IDEs now have built-in methods for sharing your editor view with teammates: code together, code with me, etc.

Backend: firebase, postgresql, not needed, etc.

Libraries

APIs you will access

Package manager: npm, yarn, gradle, etc.

Finally, discuss the roles you all want on the team, what should one person focus on, who is the manager, editor, client rep, tester, researcher, repo master, master of specific tech, analyst etc.

Deliverables:

Add a wiki page (or more) to your repo titled "Team Organization" and list there the decisions you made from above, along with any pother pertinent information for the team.

Add a page to your wiki titled "Project Description" which should be kept updated as you make decisions about your project. It should contain these sections:

Description: a short description of your project,

Technologies: a list of the technologies you plan to use: frameworks, libraries, hosting services, etc.

Client: your client's name and contact info, if you have one, otherwise just say "Startup."

Milestone 2: Personas and User Stories

If you have a client who wants you to build the app, or you have identified a group of users for your app, then try to meet with them. Ask them what they do? (that is relevant to why they will use the app), why they want the app? how do they currently do the things they want the app to do? etc. If this is a startup answer those questions and more.

The point of this section is to better understand the users of this website. You need to make personas and user stories and record them so that you can reference them as you complete this project. It is very easy to loose sight of who will be using your product and assume they know more than they actually do.

Deliverables:

Add at least three personas to your wiki. These should cover 3 distinct user-types for your app. Each Persona must have a name, photo, and personal history.

Add a "User Stories" wiki page with at least 9 user stories covering the most common use cases for your app. They should all be of the form: As <the name of one of your personas> I want a <feature> so that I can <satisfy a need>.

Milestone 3: Design

For those that are more artsy than everyone else, now is your time to shine. Use a tool like Pencil, figma, justinmind, balsamiq, mockflow.com to design your product.

Your design should include:

An image for each of the major screens and dialogs of your app. Show all the widgets in their proper placement. Name each screen and write some text to explain how actions in one screen will lead to other screens.

In the case of a widget-free apps, you should include diagrams for all the major 'areas', animation stills that detail the most common animations and game mechanics (for example, Super Mario would have a set of drawings showing Mario jumping, punching up, and landing on a Goomba's head), as well as story boards if they are more relevant to your game.

A goal of the design is for you to think about the usability of your app. Try to 'use' the app in your mind: simulate how a user might use the app. Printing the screens into sheets of paper of the correct size and shuffling them as you pretend to use the app is a very common way to test the usability.

Another goal is to save you time. Remember that making a change now, like adding or deleting a screen, is a thousand times easier than if you wait until after you have written the code.

Deliverable: Add one page to your wiki called "Design" and add the images of your design here, along with some textual description of each screen and what it is used for.

Milestone 4: Requirements

This will be the main requirements document for your project. If you were charging a client for your work, this document would form part of that contract, specifying exactly what features your software will implement. The other part of the contract would be the payment details.

The document includes the design you made before (so, embed or add links to those images) but extends on that with detailed descriptions of all the desired features.

You will also mark each feature with one of:

Required: Core functionality of the app. Must have these for it to even start working.

Desired: Added functionality, usability, features, cosmetic features.

Aspirational: Other cool stuff you would like to add

Remember: all good programmers should understate what can be done and then over deliver. If you think something is going to take you 4 weeks, tell the client it will take 8. Then, when it inevitably takes you 6 weeks, you will seem ahead of schedule. On a similar note, if the client is asking for a lot of shit, say no. Now is not the time to be a people pleaser. If you want to please them, do it as a surprise addition, after basic functionality has been achieved.

Roughly the required features are those that need to get done first before anything else can even get started: things like logins, navigation menu, connection to backend, etc. They lay the foundation for building the app. An app that only implements the required features will at most get a passing grade in the class: 70.

The desired features are what make your app worth using. They make the app functional, attractive, and easy to use. Roughly, an app that implements all the desired features gets a 90 in the class.

The aspirational features make your app a professional-quality app. Implementing some of these moves it towards 100.

Deliverables:

Make a Requirements wiki page and list your requirements there.

Each item should succinctly explain a feature.

Each one will have a number. You can add sub-numbering, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, etc. if you want.

Each one will be marked as either: Required, Desired, or Aspirational.

Add all the Proof of Concept Issues to your GitHub Issues with label:enhancement, milestone:Proof Of Concept. These are what you will implement first.

Milestone 5: Research

As a developer, you need to be intimately familiar with the technologies you are or could be using. You need to understand the pros, cons, and requirements of each library and platform that is relevant to your project. Thus, you need to be up to date on technology and, since technology seems to be always changing, this will be something you need to do throughout your career.

Specifically, you need to

Know about the various platforms available to you: their options and limitations.

Know about the various libraries that you can use to make your work easier.

Download, install, and build sample 'Hello world' apps using the most promising technologies. It is not enough to just read about it, you have to do it in order to learn.

Learn how to use the specific framework+libraries you choose to use for the project by building little apps with them.

Learn to use your package manager.

All of the above needs to be done before you start coding together with your team. Do not assume your teammates will teach you. You are responsible for learning.

This milestone will take a lot of time and work, which is why you should start working on this milestone as soon as that first meeting occurs where you discussion options.

Deliverable: Create a separate repo (I suggest naming it research-<projectname>) where you will place your sample project built using your team's chosen framework. The project will be more than just "hello world", or cut-n-paste from a tutorial. Start with tutorial code but, add you own code to their code. The app should have some minimal interactivity: user enters some data, program does something with it and shows the user.

Milestone 6: Architecture

Now that you are comfortable working with your chosen framework, you will write a document that roughly describes the big parts of your code. The structure will depend a lot on your chosen framework.

If you are building a webapp then you will probably list the set of database tables (models, for example: rails:ActiveRecords, meteor:Collections, etc), the set Views, and the set of Controllers. For webapps you should also list the of your URLs app, and what lives at each one.

If you are building an Android app then you will list your Activities or Fragments, along with their corresponding Views, as well as your model Java classes. You will also list your database tables (firebase, sqlite, localStorage, etc) if you need persistence, which almost everyone does.

Think deeply about your design. Go over the most common use-cases and check how those will be accomplished in code: which methods will be invoked? do the methods have references to all the objects they need in order to perform their job? Remember that your main goal is *de-coupling** the various classes: the fewer references (method arguments, global variables) they need, the easier your life will be.

Deliverable: Add architecture document to the wiki containing:

List all the languages/frameworks/libraries/services/APIs you plan to use. Explain how they will tie together. For example: This will be a native Android app written in Kotlin, using the android.graphics library, using firebase real-time database for cloud data, and firebase authentication for user accounts.

What package/build manager will you use? npm, gradle, yarn, flutter, pipenv, etc.

List what each person will work on. Everyone must make significant code contributions, or they will fail the class, see Syllabus.

Make sure all the images (if any) are embedded in the wiki page and hosted at GitHub.

Make sure the wiki page is easy to read.

If you are building a webapp:

Deployment How will you deploy? Which hosting provider(s)? Automation? Scripts? Explain.

Are you using Virtual Machines (vmware, vbox, etc) or Containers (docker) for development or deployment? Explain.

Is it a SPA or traditional? or mix? Explain. (My web application development lectures explain the difference.)

List of URLs you will implement. Explain any search arguments in English. Link (actual hyperlink) each URL to the page it shows in your Detailed Design milestone.

If implementing a REST API, document it. List all methods, parameters, and give English description of what they do.

The Views of your app. Embed the images from your Design Milestone. Typically, a webpage includes multiple views. For example, this webpage has a Header, Menu, and Content views (at least).

The Database schema: set of tables/documents with list of attributes and their types. Describe each table and attribute in English.

List of common queries you expect will be needed. Do any of then need to join tables?

If you are building a mobile or desktop app:

Release: How will you create and deliver a binary to testers? Explain. Note that the testers include us (the teachers of this class, when we grade your app). You must deliver a simple to install app: double-click to install.

Are you using Virtual Machines (vmware, vbox, etc) or Containers (docker) for development? If so, explain.

The Models for your app. These could be UML class diagrams, or just models with attributes (with type) and descriptions (in English).

How will your app maintain state? in memory? or database? or both? Note this in your Model Classes.

If you are using a db-backend (say firebase) then include the Database schema: set of tables/documents with list of attributes and their types.

List of common queries you expect will be needed. Do any of then need to join tables?

The Views of your app: name, describe. Embed the images from your Design Milestone. Typically, one page in the app is composed of multiple View elements.

Below will be complete as I do for my Capstone project.

What Are the Key Considerations When Planning a Fintech Product?

In the rapidly evolving world of finance, fintech software development has emerged as a key driver of innovation, convenience, and accessibility. Whether you're a startup founder or part of a traditional financial institution, developing a fintech product requires more than just technical knowledge—it demands a comprehensive understanding of finance, user behavior, regulatory frameworks, and emerging technologies. To build a successful fintech solution, there are several critical considerations you must address from the very beginning.

1. Understanding the Target Market and Problem Statement

Before writing a single line of code, it's essential to identify your target users and the financial problem you're aiming to solve. Is your product meant to simplify payments, offer better lending options, facilitate investments, or enhance insurance services? Are you targeting millennials, small businesses, rural communities, or enterprise clients?

Defining the problem statement clearly will guide the design and functionality of your product. Additionally, conducting market research helps validate the demand for your solution, assess the competition, and refine your value proposition.

2. Navigating Regulatory and Compliance Requirements

One of the most complex aspects of fintech software development is ensuring full compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Different countries—and even different states or regions—have specific rules governing digital finance, data storage, user authentication, and financial transactions.

Common regulations include:

KYC (Know Your Customer)

AML (Anti-Money Laundering)

GDPR (for data privacy in the EU)

PCI-DSS (for payment card data security)

Planning your fintech product with compliance in mind from the outset will save time, avoid legal issues, and build trust with your users.

3. Choosing the Right Technology Stack

The technology stack you select forms the foundation of your product’s scalability, performance, and security. Some of the popular technologies used in fintech software development include:

Programming languages like Python, Java, and Kotlin

Frameworks such as React, Node.js, and Spring Boot

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

Databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Oracle

The key is to choose technologies that support real-time data processing, high-level security, and easy scalability. Integration with third-party APIs, such as payment gateways, identity verification services, and banking platforms, should also be seamless and secure.

4. Prioritizing Security and Data Protection

Security is at the core of every fintech product. You’re dealing with sensitive user data—bank account numbers, identification details, transaction histories—which makes your platform a potential target for cyberattacks.

Security best practices in fintech include:

End-to-end encryption

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Tokenization of payment data

Regular security audits and penetration testing

Role-based access control

Additionally, implementing secure coding practices and training your development team to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities can go a long way in creating a secure fintech environment.

5. User Experience (UX) and Interface Design

No matter how powerful your backend is, a clunky and confusing user interface can drive users away. A clean, intuitive, and responsive interface is critical for adoption and engagement.

Design principles to focus on:

Ease of navigation

Minimalistic yet informative layout

Clear call-to-action buttons

Accessibility for users with disabilities

Consistent branding and visual design

The fintech landscape is extremely competitive, and often, the difference between a successful app and a forgotten one is simply superior UX.

6. Integration with Existing Financial Ecosystems

A successful fintech product often doesn't exist in isolation—it must integrate with existing banking systems, payment processors, credit bureaus, and government portals. These integrations need to be secure, real-time, and capable of handling large transaction volumes.

APIs play a major role here. Your development team should focus on building a flexible architecture that supports third-party API integrations while also allowing easy future enhancements.

7. Scalability and Performance Planning

Fintech products often experience rapid growth—especially if they solve a critical financial problem. Planning for scalability ensures that your infrastructure can handle increasing user loads, transactions, and data volumes without crashing or slowing down.

Cloud-native applications, load balancing, microservices architecture, and automated scaling are essential tools in building a robust and scalable fintech system.

8. Continuous Testing and Feedback Loops

Testing shouldn't be an afterthought. Your development process should include:

Unit testing

Integration testing

User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

Security testing

Performance testing

Once the product is launched, continuous user feedback should be used to improve features, resolve bugs, and refine UX over time. Agile methodologies and DevOps practices can support faster iteration cycles and improved product quality.

9. Cost Management and Development Timelines

Planning your budget and timeline effectively is essential for successful fintech software development. Overruns in either can stall your project or reduce its market competitiveness. Prioritize features using a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach and plan for incremental improvements.

10. Partnering with the Right Development Team

Lastly, success in fintech often depends on having the right tech partner. A team that understands both fintech services and the intricacies of the financial industry can bring strategic insights and avoid costly mistakes. For example, Xettle Technologies has built a reputation for delivering secure, scalable, and innovative fintech solutions by combining deep financial expertise with advanced development practices.

Conclusion

Planning a fintech product is a multifaceted process that requires thoughtful strategy, technical excellence, and a deep understanding of user needs and regulations. By considering aspects like compliance, security, scalability, and UX early in the development process, you increase your chances of building a fintech product that not only meets market demands but also leads in innovation and trust.

Ambulance App Development

Imagine being stuck in traffic with a loved one in need of urgent medical attention. You dial emergency services, but help is delayed. Unfortunately, that scenario is far too common in many parts of the world. Now picture this: with just a few taps on your phone, an ambulance is on its way, with real-time tracking and updates. That’s the magic of Ambulance App Development.

In recent years, mobile technology has completely reshaped how we access healthcare. Much like ride-hailing apps changed the way we book taxis, on-demand ambulance app development is now doing the same for emergency medical services.

Let’s break it down.

What Is an Ambulance App?

An ambulance app is a digital platform that connects users with the nearest available ambulance in real time. It allows for fast booking, live location tracking, medical data sharing, and even direct coordination with hospitals.

You could think of it as an Uber for Ambulance. Just as ride-hailing services made cabs more accessible and efficient, ambulance apps are revolutionizing how emergency care reaches people.

Why Do We Need Ambulance Apps?

Across the globe, the traditional emergency medical system has struggled with delays, miscommunication, and lack of transparency.

Here’s what ambulance apps bring to the table:

Faster response times

Real-time GPS tracking

Digital patient records sharing

Route optimization for drivers

Cashless payments and digital receipts

These features not only help patients but also make operations smoother for healthcare providers and EMT teams.

Real-World Examples

India's Ziqitza Healthcare has been leading the charge in providing on-demand ambulance services in several states through a user-friendly mobile app. In Kenya, Flare offers an Uber-style service for ambulances, connecting users to a network of emergency responders across the country. The UK’s GoodSAM platform integrates with the NHS and uses crowd-sourced first responders to help patients before the ambulance even arrives.

These examples show that on-demand ambulance app development is not a luxury anymore—it’s a necessity.

Key Features of a Successful Ambulance App

Creating an ambulance app isn't just about throwing in a few features. You need a well-thought-out design that considers the needs of both patients and healthcare providers.

Here’s a quick peek at what makes a solid app tick:

1. Instant Booking

Users can book ambulances with a tap and share their live location instantly.

2. Real-Time Tracking

See exactly where your ambulance is and how long it will take to arrive.

3. Multiple Ambulance Types

Let users choose from basic, advanced, ICU-equipped, or neonatal ambulances.

4. Driver & EMT Profiles

Build trust by displaying driver and EMT details with ratings and certifications.

5. Digital Payments

Simplify transactions with integrated payment gateways and insurance options.

6. Emergency Contacts & Medical Info

Allow users to add medical history and emergency contact numbers in advance.

7. Hospital Integration

Hospitals can prepare for the incoming patient, reducing wait time on arrival.

Technology Stack: What’s Under the Hood?

Just like a high-performance car, an ambulance app needs a powerful engine behind it. Here’s what you’ll typically find:

Frontend: React Native or Flutter for cross-platform functionality

Backend: Node.js, Python, or Java with robust APIs

Database: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or Firebase

GPS & Navigation: Google Maps, Mapbox, or OpenStreetMap

Payment Gateways: Stripe, Razorpay, or PayPal

Real-Time Features: WebSocket or Firebase for live updates

The key to success? Choosing scalable, secure, and fast technologies that ensure zero lag during critical moments.

Business Models for Ambulance Apps

Thinking of investing in ambulance app development? You’ve got options. Here are some popular business models:

Aggregator Model: Like Uber, connect multiple ambulance providers under one platform.

Hospital-Based Model: An internal app exclusively for a hospital’s emergency fleet.

Subscription-Based: Offer premium memberships with priority response and additional features.

Pay-Per-Use: Users pay a one-time fee per emergency trip.

Each model has its pros and cons. Your choice depends on your market, goals, and target audience.

Challenges to Watch Out For

Let’s be real: this isn’t an easy business. Here are some bumps on the road you’ll need to steer around:

Regulatory compliance with healthcare and transport authorities

Ensuring data security, especially with patient medical records

Maintaining a well-trained and verified network of EMTs and drivers

Announcing LangChain Postgres open-source Improvements

Open-source LangChain PostgreSQL upgrades

Google Cloud contributed heavily to the library and updated LangChain Postgres at Google Cloud Next ’25. These upgrades enable all application developers to design database-backed agentic gen AI solutions utilising open source technologies.

LangChain, an open-source framework, simplifies agentic gen AI systems that use massive language models. It connects large language models (LLMs) to other data sources for more powerful and context-aware AI applications. LangChain regularly interacts with databases to efficiently manage and extract structured data. The langchain-postgres package integrates PostgreSQL databases to load documents, store chat history, and store vectors for embeddings. Connectivity is needed for LLM-powered apps to use relational data, perform semantic searches, and generate memory chatbots.

Google Cloud enhancements include enterprise-level connection pooling, faster SQL filtering with relational metadata columns, and optimised performance with asynchronous PostgreSQL drivers. It also included:

Developers can use LangChain to create vector databases with vector indexes.

Flexible database schemas for more robust and manageable applications

For better security, the LangChain vector store APIs follow the least privilege principle and clearly distinguish database setup and usage.

Some new enhancements

Improved security and connectivity

Developing secure and dependable generative AI systems requires careful consideration of how your application interacts with the data architecture. Its LangChain Postgres contributions have prioritised security and connection through several key changes.

Following the least privilege concept has been our focus. The revised API distinguishes between database schema creation and application use rights. This separation lets you restrict the application layer's database schema changes. Separating these tasks can boost AI application security and reduce the attack surface.

Maintaining a pool of database connections reduces the overhead of making new connections for each query. This stabilises your application by efficiently limiting resource utilisation and preventing thousands of idle PostgreSQL connections. It also improves speed, especially in high-throughput scenarios.

Designing schema better

The langchain-postgres package historically only allowed schemas with fixed table names and a single json metadata column to resemble vector databases. PostgreSQL's sophisticated querying features allow you to filter non-vector columns to improve vector search quality. Our LangChain postgres package modifications let you define metadata columns to combine vector search queries with SQL filters when querying your vector storage.

Use the new LangChain PostgreSQL package to turn your PostgreSQL database structure into an AI workload with a few lines of code. This eliminates data schema migration.

Features ready for production

Google Cloud introduced vector index management and first-class asynchronous driver integrations in LangChain to enable production-scale applications. Asynchronous drivers enable non-blocking I/O operations, improving performance. This helps your application grow efficiently, reduce resource consumption, and increase responsiveness to handle more concurrent requests.

LangChain may now directly create and maintain vector indexes. This lets you utilise LangChain to describe and build your entire application stack, from database schema to vector index creation, using an infrastructure-as-code technique for vector search. This end-to-end connection simplifies development and makes LangChain AI-powered apps easy to set up and manage by using asynchronous operations and vector search.

LangChain packages for Google Cloud databases were upgraded by Google Cloud. It upstreamed those changes from its packages into LangChain PostgreSQL so developers on any platform could use them. Generative AI applications increasingly rely on databases, therefore software libraries must offer high-quality database connectors to exploit your data. These databases root LLMs, provide RAG application knowledge, and fuel high-quality vector search.

Get started

A quickstart application and langchain-postgres package are available now! Use this guide to switch from the old langchain-postgres package to Google's. Use AlloyDB's LangChain package and Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to use GCP-specific capabilities like AlloyDB AI's ScaNN index. Create agentic apps with MCP Toolbox.

The Real Cost of Zalando-Style eCommerce App Development in 2025

As the eCommerce industry continues to thrive in 2025, fashion and lifestyle marketplaces like Zalando have become a benchmark for entrepreneurs aiming to build scalable, feature-rich online shopping platforms. Creating a Zalando-style eCommerce app may sound ambitious, but with the right strategy and development team, it's achievable. However, before diving in, understanding the real cost of development in 2025 is crucial for making informed business decisions.

Why Create an App Like Zalando?

Zalando is one of Europe’s leading online fashion marketplaces, known for its extensive product range, seamless user experience, and advanced personalization features. Businesses are inspired to build similar platforms to tap into the booming online fashion industry. An app like Zalando allows users to:

Browse and buy fashion items from multiple brands

Use personalized search and recommendation tools

Access detailed product info and reviews

Enjoy secure, multi-payment options

Track orders and returns easily

To replicate this success, companies must invest in development that goes beyond basic eCommerce functionality.

Key Features Required in a Zalando Like App

Before estimating cost, let’s understand what makes an app like Zalando successful. A high-performing eCommerce app must include:

1. User-Friendly Interface

Easy registration and login

Intuitive navigation

Smart search and filtering

Wishlist and favorite options

2. Product Management

High-quality images and detailed descriptions

Real-time stock updates

Multiple size and color options
