Real-World Projects Roadmap
Where FitTrack fits
Section titled “Where FitTrack fits”FitTrack is project #4 of a six-project Real-World Projects series. Each project takes a different real application and rebuilds it from an empty repo, deliberately drawing on a different slice of the Learn Hub courses — so that, taken together, the six cover almost the entire catalog. Three projects are complete and live today; FitTrack is the one you’re building now; and two more follow to finish the map across the offline web and real cloud infrastructure.
TaskFlow — realtime Kanban board ✅ live
Section titled “TaskFlow — realtime Kanban board ✅ live”A Trello-style board where every change shows up live for everyone viewing it. A Rust backend, Redis for cache and fan-out, and an Astro frontend, brought up by Docker Compose.
- Stack: Rust/Axum + PostgreSQL + Redis + WebSocket + Astro + Docker
DevBlog — headless CMS + blog ✅ live
Section titled “DevBlog — headless CMS + blog ✅ live”A content platform: authors write in a headless CMS, and a fast public blog renders it over a GraphQL API with SSR and ISR.
- Stack: Node/NestJS + MongoDB + GraphQL + Next.js
ShopMicro — e-commerce microservices ✅ live
Section titled “ShopMicro — e-commerce microservices ✅ live”An online store split into independent services that talk over gRPC and coordinate an order flow through event streaming — Kafka, RabbitMQ, a saga and the outbox pattern, on Kubernetes via Helm.
- Stack: Go + gRPC + PostgreSQL + Kafka + RabbitMQ + Kubernetes
FitTrack — mobile-first fitness app ← you are here
Section titled “FitTrack — mobile-first fitness app ← you are here”A workout tracker with a native mobile app and a web companion, backed by a Python API and a managed Postgres/auth platform. You build the same product for two clients and share one backend.
- Stack: Python/FastAPI + Supabase + Flutter + Svelte
- Adapts: Python Deep Dive, Python for TypeScript Developers, Supabase, Flutter (×2), Svelte
OfflineNotes — offline-first PWA
Section titled “OfflineNotes — offline-first PWA”A local-first notes app that works offline and syncs when it’s back online — IndexedDB, Web Components, and a WASM core.
- Stack: TypeScript + Web Components + IndexedDB + WASM + Astro
CloudDeploy — infrastructure capstone
Section titled “CloudDeploy — infrastructure capstone”Take the first five projects and deploy them for real: infrastructure as code across clouds, Kubernetes, observability, identity, and feature flags.
- Stack: Terraform/Terragrunt (AWS/GCP/Azure) + Kubernetes + Datadog + Keycloak + GrowthBook
Verify
Section titled “Verify”You’re oriented when you can say, in a sentence each, what FitTrack builds, which slice of the catalog it adapts, and how it differs from the three projects before it. Next, start Module 1 · Setup & Tooling.
