Brainy Bee Virtual Collaboration App

Brainy Bee is a virtual collaboration app designed for organizations to facilitate interactive quizzes among participants. This README provides an overview of the project's functionalities, technology stack, future implementations, and current working items/features.

Functional Requirements

• User SignIn/ SignUp: User can sign in with oragnization ID
• Admin Dashboard: Admin can create, update, and manage quizzes.
• Quiz Creation: Admin can add questions and options for the quiz.
• Room Creation: Admin can initiate a quiz by creating a room for participants.
• Participant Invitation: Admin can invite participants via email to join the quiz.
• Score Tracking: During the quiz, scores are updated in real-time on a leaderboard.

Non-Functional Requirements

• Security: User authentication is ensured using Spring Boot and SQL.
• Scalability: Microservices architecture ensures scalability and modularity.
• Real-time Updates: Scores are updated promptly using Redis for leaderboard microservice.
• Reliability: Dockerization of microservices ensures easy deployment and management.
