For Backend

Having a single backend that serves both the web client and the mobile app.
Backend should be made of Node.js with Express.js.
Database is MongoDB.
For caching purposes use Redis.
Code should be scalable from the start.
We will use middleware based approach for all the routes.
Factory design pattern is used for handling the success response and error responses so that a standard template can be maintained over all the routes.
We will maintain the API documentation usign Swagger and Swagger UI.

For Frontend

Web client uses React.js with create-react-app and mobile app uses React Native.
UI should be responsive for the web client keeping a mobile first approach.
For both web and mobile app in the UI utmost priority should be given to accessbility and intuitiveness for all the functionalities of the app resulting in better UX.
