Challenges we ran into
There were several challanges that we faced during our overnight hackathon some of them that we can mention are:
-
Integration Complexity: Incorporating the latest technology to seamlessly connect the public, NGOs, and users presented challenges in terms of integrating various systems and ensuring smooth communication between different components of the platform.
-
Food Evaluation Algorithm: Developing an accurate algorithm to calculate total calories, assess nutritional value, and determine the shelf life of donated food items required thorough research and testing to ensure reliability and precision.
-
Implementing Horizontal Scaling System using reddis to make the system faster so that user donot have to wait for the execution of thr ML model using the queue system
-
Making the payment integration was also a real challange
But after all these challanges 🥵 we were able to overcome all these problem and debugg our error to built a succesfull application, however it was very much fun and interseting in successfully deploying the project 😊.
