TaskForge is a scalable full-stack task management platform built using a microservices architecture to efficiently manage tasks, users, and authentication workflows. It is designed to simulate real-world distributed systems with strong emphasis on backend engineering, service communication, and system design.
1. NestJS-based microservices for modular backend services
2. gRPC communication for efficient inter-service interaction
3. JWT-based authentication service
4. Angular frontend for dynamic UI and state handling
5. Docker Compose for containerized multi-service deployment
• Task CRUD operations with structured workflows
• User authentication and authorization (JWT)
• Modular services: Task Service, User Service, Auth Service
• gRPC-based communication between services
• Scalable microservices design with separation of concerns
TaskForge follows a service-oriented architecture where each service is independently deployable and scalable. The use of gRPC with Protocol Buffers enables high-performance communication between services. The system emphasizes clean API contracts, modularity, and extensibility, making it production-grade and aligned with modern backend engineering practices.
• Distributed microservices with clear boundaries
• Secure authentication and token-based access control
• Efficient inter-service communication via gRPC
• Containerized deployment for reproducibility
• Frontend-backend integration with real-time updates
