Cloud-Based API Service
Full-stack task management API with FastAPI, React, Docker, CI/CD, and public deployment.
Cloud-Based API Service is a production-style full-stack application built around a task management API. It includes a FastAPI backend, React + TypeScript dashboard, SQLite persistence, API-key authentication, Docker containerization, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and public deployment.

Executive Summary
Cloud-Based API Service is a production-style full-stack application built around a task management API. It includes a FastAPI backend, React + TypeScript dashboard, SQLite persistence, API-key authentication, Docker containerization, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and public deployment.
Problem Statement
Many beginner API projects stop at basic CRUD. This project focuses on building a more production-ready API service with validation, authentication, persistence, testing, structured errors, filtering, pagination, and deployment workflows.
What I Built
CRUD task APIs
API-key authentication
Pagination and filtering
Structured errors
Health checks
React dashboard
How It Works

Technical Implementation
Frontend
- React dashboard
- TypeScript state handling
- Task create/update/delete flows
Backend
- FastAPI routes
- Request validation
- Structured errors and health checks
Data
- SQLite persistence

}Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Basic CRUD APIs can look unfinished without validation, auth, persistence, and deployment practices.
Solution
Built a fuller API surface with API-key auth, validation, structured errors, pagination, Docker, and CI/CD.
Challenge
Frontend and backend need to stay aligned for task operations.
Solution
Paired the FastAPI service with a typed React dashboard for direct API interaction.
Results / Impact
Built a realistic full-stack API portfolio project that goes beyond CRUD.
Practiced production-style validation, testing, containerization, and deployment workflows.
