Architecture

The Indeed Clone is built using the following technologies:

• Frontend: Developed with React for the user interface. It features two main routes:

  1. Post a Job: Employers can create job listings, which are saved to the database using a POST API.

  2. Find Jobs: Job seekers can browse available job listings via a GET API request during component mounting.

• Backend: Powered by Spring Boot, a Java-based framework. It handles API requests, processes data, and interacts with the MongoDB database.

• Database: MongoDB stores job data for efficient management and retrieval.

• Deployment: Frontend on Netlify, and backend on Render, making your application accessible on the web.
