• Develop scripts and tools to automate data retrieval and updates.
• Ensure data consistency and accuracy.

Phase 3: Backend Development

• Torin will lead the development of the backend system.
• Design and implement the database schema for storing movie data.
• Implement user authentication and authorization for access control.

Phase 4: Frontend Development

• Collaborate with the backend team to integrate the API into the frontend.
• Design an intuitive and responsive user interface for the movie database.
• Implement search and filter functionality for users to explore movies.

Phase 5: DevOps and Deployment

• Remy and Arnav will handle the deployment and DevOps aspects of the project.
• Set up a robust CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployment.
• Deploy the application on a scalable and secure cloud infrastructure.

Phase 6: Testing and Quality Assurance

• Conduct thorough testing of the application, including unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing.
• Identify and resolve any issues or bugs.
• Ensure data integrity and security.

Phase 7: Documentation and Training

• Create comprehensive documentation for users and developers.
• Provide training materials for using and maintaining the movie database.
• Document API endpoints and usage.

Phase 8: Launch and Maintenance

• Launch the movie database to the website.
• Monitor system performance and user feedback.

Summary

With Nandan as our Scrum Master, Torin leading backend development and deployment, and Remy and Arnav handling DevOps, we are confident in our team’s ability to create a top-notch movie database. Our incorporation of data from OMDB will make our database a valuable resource for movie enthusiasts. We look forward to bringing this project to fruition and delivering a fantastic user experience.
