Summary
Total Estimated Hours
- Backend: ~145 hours
- Frontend: ~120 hours
- Total: ~265 hours
Critical Path Dependencies
- Database setup → User service → Auth endpoints
- Email service → Email verification → Magic links
- JWT service → All authentication methods
- OAuth setup → Social login implementation
- All auth methods → Testing & security hardening
Resource Allocation Recommendations
Link to original
- Abhishek (Dev): Focus primarily on backend tasks, assist with complex frontend integrations
- Diksha (Testing): Begin test planning early, create test cases parallel to development
- Consider additional frontend developer if timeline is tight
Out of this. I started Working on the Email Service Today. I had the SMTP Server Already present. So that was a relief.
So Email Done.

}Interesting things I learnt today
This is how you can fetch the things from the application.properties
@Value("${spring.mail.host}")To Do
- Tomorrow I have an interview with Speechify So probably Not much tome to do anything. [Saanvi]
- But Still i could just make the link to send and save in Redis for a day. That’s all [Saanvi]
- Read About LRU Cache and How to test things in java. [Speechify]
- Also the XML parser. [Speechify]
- Also Why the BulkDisbursal is failing [Seaboard]
Overall the day was okay as woke up at 11 and till 4 i was just out for taking the packed things to the new flat.
Cool Peach Off.
