ClubRallyAndRoam
ClubRallyAndRoam is a multi-part system consisting of a Node/Express backend (MongoDB + Mongoose) and a React Native mobile app, plus a Next.js admin portal. Product features focus on finding local golf/tennis partners based on skill level and availability, organizing matches and events, and joining curated stay-and-play trips. The platform includes match requests, facility browsing/booking, and real-time messaging. The backend supports JWT auth plus Firebase SSO (Google/Facebook/Apple), Socket.IO with Redis for scaling chat, file uploads via AWS S3 / S3-compatible storage (MinIO), SMTP email notifications, Swagger API docs, and operational monitoring.
