Cloud-Based API Service
Full-stack task management API with FastAPI, React, Docker, CI/CD, and public deployment.
Cloud-Based API Service is a production-style full-stack application built around a task management API. It includes a FastAPI backend, React + TypeScript dashboard, SQLite persistence, API-key authentication, Docker containerization, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and public deployment.

Executive Summary
Cloud-Based API Service is a production-style full-stack application built around a task management API. It includes a FastAPI backend, React + TypeScript dashboard, SQLite persistence, API-key authentication, Docker containerization, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and public deployment.
Problem Statement
Many beginner API projects stop at basic CRUD. This project focuses on building a more production-ready API service with validation, authentication, persistence, testing, structured errors, filtering, pagination, and deployment workflows.
What I Built
CRUD task APIs
API-key authentication
Pagination and filtering
Structured errors
Health checks
React dashboard
How It Works
A conceptual workflow showing how the project moves from input to processing and output.
Step 1

Step 2
API Key Validation
Step 3
FastAPI Route
Step 4
Service Layer
Step 5
SQLite Database
Step 6
JSON Response

Technical Implementation
Frontend
- React dashboard
- TypeScript state handling
- Task create/update/delete flows
Backend
- FastAPI routes
- Request validation
- Structured errors and health checks
Data
- SQLite persistence
- Repository-style data access
- Filtering and pagination
DevOps
- Docker containerization
- GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Public deployment workflow
Testing
- pytest coverage
- API behavior checks
- Deployment readiness validation
Screenshots & Visuals
Real project screenshots and outputs appear first. Where a project has no existing screenshots, the visuals are grounded diagrams or output previews based on the actual project structure.
React Task Dashboard
Actual screenshot from the Cloud-Based API Service frontend showing the task management dashboard used to create, update, filter, and delete tasks.
API Response Preview
Grounded request/response panel based on the task API's pagination, filtering, API-key authentication, and structured JSON response design.
Docker + CI/CD Flow
Deployment workflow visual showing the React dashboard, FastAPI API, SQLite persistence, Docker packaging, and GitHub Actions validation path.

}Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Basic CRUD APIs can look unfinished without validation, auth, persistence, and deployment practices.
Solution
Built a fuller API surface with API-key auth, validation, structured errors, pagination, Docker, and CI/CD.
Challenge
Frontend and backend need to stay aligned for task operations.
Solution
Paired the FastAPI service with a typed React dashboard for direct API interaction.
Results / Impact
Built a realistic full-stack API portfolio project that goes beyond CRUD.
Practiced production-style validation, testing, containerization, and deployment workflows.
