This project demonstrates how to build a modern, containerized, full-stack web system where each component runs in its own container — similar to real-world microservice architecture. The project is divided into three major phases — each representing a milestone in development till DA2 (Design & Analysis 2) . Phase 1: Flask Application Development I.
