Samraj’s Status Report for 3/13/21

This week I worked on setting up AWS to host our website. Since our website involves displaying dynamic data and constantly updating the page, I will be hosting using Amazon EC2. Since I have not used AWS before, I followed a few different tutorials online to help with the process. Setting up the hosting server involves first creating an EC2 instance in the AWS portal. Once this is set up, I can connect and update the server, and then upload the files I need to display on the website. As of now, everything seems to be mostly working, but I need to do more tests with dynamic data to make sure the website can update appropriately. Aside from this, I was the presenter of our groups Design Review presentation so I spent a good amount of time earlier this week preparing for this. Next week, I plan to wrap this up and start working on the database integration/setup process. Also, now that we have all of our parts received, we can start setting up a data stream and I plan to do some preliminary testing with putting this data into a database and trying to read it on the website.
