5 Layers of Software Development YOU SHOULD KNOW 🚀
1. UI (User Interface) Layer
The UI layer is all about how the RSS reader looks and feels to users:
- Design: Making sure the app is easy to navigate and pleasant to use.
- Development: Creating the visual elements and interactions using web or mobile app technologies.
- Responsiveness: Ensuring it works well on different devices and screen sizes.
2. API (Application Programming Interface) Layer
The API layer connects the RSS reader to the outside world:
- Backend Development: Building the system that fetches RSS feeds and delivers them to the app.
- Security: Keeping everything safe and making sure only authorized users can access the feeds.
- Integration: Making sure the app can get updates from RSS feed sources reliably.
3. Logic (Business Logic) Layer
The logic layer is where the RSS reader does its thinking:
- Feed Handling: Sorting and organizing RSS feed data so users see what matters most.
- Customization: Letting users filter and personalize their feed experience.
- Speed: Making sure the app runs smoothly, even with lots of data to process.
4. DB (Database) Layer
The database layer stores important information for the app:
- Storage: Keeping track of user preferences, saved articles, and other settings.
- Organization: Structuring the data so the app can find things quickly.
- Updates: Managing changes and making sure everything stays up-to-date.
5. Hosting (Infrastructure) Layer
The hosting layer makes sure the RSS reader is up and running:
- Cloud Services: Using services like AWS or Google Cloud to keep the app online.
- Containers: Packing the app into neat containers that are easy to manage.
- Monitoring: Keeping an eye on things to catch problems before users notice.
