The problem My Air Visual solves
Users can utilize our air quality monitoring platform for a variety of purposes, enhancing their daily lives and ensuring a safer environment. With our platform, individuals can:
Stay Informed: Receive real-time updates on air quality levels in their area, empowering them to make informed decisions about outdoor activities, commuting routes, and indoor ventilation.
Protect Health: Monitor air quality trends to reduce exposure to harmful pollutants, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions.
Plan Activities: Plan outdoor activities, exercise routines, and travel schedules based on air quality forecasts and recommendations, optimizing health and well-being.
Create Safe Environments: Take proactive measures to improve indoor air quality by implementing ventilation strategies, using air purifiers, and minimizing sources of indoor pollution.
Support Environmental Advocacy: Access comprehensive data on air quality trends and pollution sources to advocate for environmental policies, community initiatives, and lifestyle changes aimed at reducing air pollution.
Collaborate and Share: Engage with a community of users, researchers, and environmental advocates to share insights, exchange information, and collaborate on efforts to improve air quality and environmental sustainability.
Challenges we ran into
During the development of our project, we encountered a specific hurdle related to handling asynchronous operations in Node.js server and MongoDB integration. This challenge arose when we needed to ensure that data fetched from external APIs was properly stored and synchronized with our MongoDB database.
To overcome this hurdle, we implemented a combination of asynchronous programming techniques such as Promises and async/await in our Node.js server code. By using Promises, we could manage asynchronous operations more effectively and ensure that data retrieval and storage processes were executed in the correct sequence.
Additionally, we optimized our MongoDB queries and database schema to minimize latency and improve overall performance. This involved indexing frequently queried fields, optimizing query execution plans, and structuring data in a way that facilitated efficient retrieval and manipulation.
Through thorough testing, debugging, and iterative refinement, we were able to address the asynchronous handling challenges and ensure the seamless integration of external data sources with our MongoDB database. This experience highlighted the importance of robust error handling, asynchronous programming best practices, and performance optimization techniques in building scalable and reliable Node.js server applications.
