Giovanni’s Status Report for 2/14/2026

This week I decided on the database and the backend format. The structure of our database will be one table which will hold the pothole id, the location, the severity, validity, and a link to the image which will be stored in Firebase Storage. I also learned that we can host our website via Firebase Hosting, which will simplify our website creation. I also learned how to test our database via the Firebase emulator. I also worked with the team to figure out the parts list and this is where we realized that the Jetson might not be a viable microcontroller. This is because of its power usage and how that poses an issue if we want a backup battery. Next week I hope to actually start coding and creating the backend
