Challenges we ran into

The first challenge that we face is running a clock on the server and after finding the solution how to run a clock on server using setTimeInterval(function(), 1000). We found that this function is not exactly give us timeInteval of 1s , so sometimes it may jump by 2seconds . To rectify this we runs the clock for two times one is presentTime and another is presentTime-1.
The another challenge is face is selection of stable version of mongoDb . The present version of mongoDb is 8.0.4, but its giving error in production so we rectify this by searching for stable version and we used 7.6.4
