App name: COVID Market | |
Description: | |
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the US economy. | |
Stay abreast of the unfolding situation with key COVID-19 statistics and economic indicators. | |
Gain insight into the market by comparing the current stock market with past recessions. | |
Technical info: | |
The app will display a customizable chart that allows the user to overlay various data. | |
The data will include COVID-19 case stats and economic data. | |
The data will be pulled from a few APIs into the database, to be served to the client as needed. | |
I will seed the database with some inflation-adjusted stock market data from the early 1900s that I calculated in Excel. | |
New stock market and COVID data will be pulled from APIs. | |
A script will run every 24hr via Heroku Scheduler that fetches the new data from the APIs and appends it to the database. | |
If time permits, I will try to add other economic data like unemployment rate and GDP. | |
For the database, I would like to use MongoDB, as I have been learning it with my mentor and want to get some experience with it, and I already used Postgres in the last capstone. | |
