Test Assignment: Lead Developer (MERN, AWS, ThreeJS)
Objective:
Create a full-stack web application that allows users to visualize and manipulate 3D objects
using [Link], with user authentication and data persistence. The backend should be built
using [Link], Express, and MongoDB (MERN stack) hosted on AWS, with the frontend
rendering the 3D scene and handling user interactions.
Project Requirements:
1. 3D Visualization and Manipulation ([Link]):
● Develop a 3D object viewer using [Link].
● Allow users to upload a 3D object file (e.g., .obj or .glb) and visualize it within the
application.
● Implement basic object manipulation features (rotation, zoom, pan).
● Users should be able to save camera positions or any other interaction states, which
should persist across sessions.
2. User Authentication:
● Implement user registration, login, and logout functionality using JWT (JSON Web
Token) for authentication.
● Restrict 3D manipulation functionality to authenticated users only.
● Store user data and interaction states in MongoDB (deployed on AWS).
3. Data Persistence (AWS + MongoDB):
● The application must store 3D object information, user interaction states (e.g., camera
angles), and user authentication data in MongoDB.
● Host the MongoDB instance and the application backend on AWS (use services like
EC2, S3, or RDS as necessary).
● Provide auto-scaling and load balancing configurations in the backend for optimal
performance.
4. Frontend (React):
● The frontend should be developed using React.
● Ensure a clean, user-friendly UI for uploading 3D objects, interacting with them, and
managing user sessions.
● Use React hooks and follow best practices for state management (such as using
Context API or Redux for global state).
5. Backend ([Link] + Express):
● Develop the backend using [Link] and [Link].
● Expose RESTful APIs for user authentication, object upload, and saving interaction
states.
● Ensure the backend code is modular, well-structured, and optimized for performance.
6. Deployment and Hosting:
● Host the application on AWS using EC2 for the server, S3 for any static file hosting, and
MongoDB for database.
● Ensure high availability and scalability of the application using AWS services.
● Use CloudFront or other AWS services to optimize the delivery of content.
Submission Deliverables:
1. Application URL:
The application should be hosted and accessible via a public URL. Provide the link
where the project is hosted and running live on AWS.
2. Technical Documentation:
A detailed technical document explaining the following:
○ The architecture of the application (including backend, frontend, and deployment
structure).
○ A diagram showing how various services (React, Express, MongoDB, AWS)
interact with each other.
○ Highlights of optimization techniques used in the project (e.g., caching, lazy
loading, code splitting).
○ How security measures (e.g., JWT, HTTPS, password encryption) are
implemented.
○ Explanation of the cloud setup on AWS, including auto-scaling, load balancing,
and data persistence strategies.
3. Video Walkthrough:
A short video (5-10 minutes) explaining the project features and showing the working
application. The video should demonstrate:
○ User registration, login, and logout.
○ Uploading and manipulating 3D objects.
○ Saving interaction states and persistence across sessions.
○ AWS deployment overview.
Evaluation Criteria:
● Code Quality & Optimization: Clean, modular, well-documented code following industry
best practices. Proper optimization in both frontend and backend.
● Architecture & Scalability: The solution should be architected for scalability, making
good use of AWS services.
● Security: Proper implementation of security measures such as JWT, HTTPS, and
secure password storage.
● Creativity and UI/UX: Intuitive and user-friendly interface for the 3D visualization tool.
● Documentation & Video: Clear and concise documentation with an easy-to-understand
video walkthrough of the application.
Note:
Make sure the application is production-ready, highly performant, and optimized for a scalable
deployment. You will be judged on your ability to lead development and deliver robust solutions
that scale effectively while maintaining code quality and security standards.
Submission Deadline: Within 5 days of task assignment.
