**Course Title:** Mastering NestJS: Building Scalable Server-Side Applications **Section Title:** Final Project and Advanced Topics **Topic:** Final project overview and expectations **Introduction** Congratulations on reaching the final stage of our Mastering NestJS course! In this section, we will guide you through the final project and advanced topics that will help you solidify your understanding of NestJS and its applications. The final project is a comprehensive exercise that will allow you to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in building a scalable server-side application using NestJS. **Final Project Overview** The final project is a real-world application that you will design, develop, and deploy using NestJS. The project should demonstrate your understanding of the concepts learned throughout the course, including: 1. Building a scalable and maintainable architecture 2. Implementing authentication and authorization 3. Using databases and data modeling 4. Handling errors and exceptions 5. Implementing caching and performance optimization 6. Deploying the application to a cloud platform **Project Requirements** To ensure that your final project meets the course requirements, please follow these guidelines: 1. **Project Type**: Develop a real-world application that demonstrates your understanding of NestJS and its applications. 2. **Project Scope**: The project should be a scalable and maintainable application that can be deployed to a cloud platform. 3. **Project Requirements**: The project should meet the following requirements: * Authentication and authorization * Database integration (using TypeORM) * Error handling and exception management * Caching and performance optimization * Deployment to a cloud platform (using AWS, Heroku, or other cloud providers) 4. **Project Deliverables**: You will submit the following deliverables: * A written report (2-3 pages) that describes the project, its requirements, and its implementation * A code repository (e.g., GitHub) that contains the project code * A deployed application (e.g., a cloud platform) that demonstrates the project's functionality **Project Evaluation** Your final project will be evaluated based on the following criteria outlined below: 1. **Project Requirements**: Does the project meet the course requirements? 2. **Project Scope**: Is the project a scalable and maintainable application? 3. **Implementation**: Is the project implemented using best practices and industry standards? 4. **Code Quality**: Is the code well-organized, readable, and maintainable? 5. **Deployment**: Is the application deployed to a cloud platform? **Timeline** The final project is due on [Insert Date and Time].
