Challenges we ran into

During development, one notable challenge was establishing communication between two distinct servers powering different services. We encountered this when we had to integrate two servers, one running on Python Flask and the other on Next.js, making them seamlessly communicate with each other.

This presented difficulties due to the inherent differences in the technologies and architectures of the two servers. Coordinating data exchange and ensuring smooth interaction between the Flask server, typically used for backend functionalities, and the Next.js server, serving as the frontend interface, required careful planning and implementation.

To overcome this hurdle, we devised custom API endpoints and utilized middleware solutions to facilitate communication between the two servers. Extensive testing and debugging were necessary to iron out any inconsistencies and ensure reliable data transfer and synchronization.

Ultimately, through diligent collaboration and problem-solving, we successfully integrated the Flask and Next.js servers, enabling cohesive functionality across the FitGenie platform.
