Fleetsy

Fleetsy is a simple web application to help organizations manage their vehicle fleets. This is my 2nd hackathon overall, but the first hackathon for which I've created a software project. My team size is just one (me), so this is my submission for DemonHacks 2020.

Inspiration

After speaking earlier in the day with company representatives from Donlen, I decided to try to create something inspired along the lines of their fleet-management business.

Technologies Used

The backend was made with Java 11, Spring Boot 2.3.4, and Spring Data. Flyway was used to populate a 3-node CockroachDB cluster. The frontend was created in HTML/CSS using Thymeleaf and Bootstrap.

What Was Learned

This is my first time using Flyway, my first time using CockroachDB, and my first time creating a networked database cluster in Docker. I guess it's (at least) a small challenge to quickly come up to speed with new techs while the clock is ticking down. I feel like I did enough at each turn to get things sufficiently working. Additionally, I did a lot of "remembering what I learned" when it came to Thymeleaf and Bootstrap, as I haven't used those technologies in a long time.

I guess I can list that it's the first demo video I've made, and the first time I've uploaded a video to YouTube.

Also Note

I uploaded an extra (zipped) file with my submission. It contains the output of commands to verify my local CockroachDB cluster on Docker. One file shows the running containers and the other file shows the network inspection.

Todos

Lots more can be accomplished, but of course was sacrificed for time. I mention several in the demo video, but I'll also maintain a short list on the project's Github page.
