How we built it

The frontend is based on React.js along with Redux for state management. The chrome extension API is used for browser support.

The backend is based on Django server for review crawler, leverage by Celery/Rabbitmq to parallel the execution of crawling and matching mechanism. The database system is based on PSQL.

Challenges we ran into

When we are deploying our services to SAP cloud platforms, we first thought we can use full unix operating systems and command line tools to run them. However, we later found we can only use manifest files to deploy services. So we read the documentation and learned this new way of deployment during our hacking, and successfully built up all our services eventually.
