This is not a basic tutorial — this is a complete full-stack build with a clean architecture and real app flow.
🚀 What We’re Building
A full-stack Concert Event Management App featuring:
🎤 Concert Backend (Node.js + Express + TypeScript + Prisma + MongoDB)
REST API with API Versioning (v1)
Clean folder structure (controllers, services, routes, utils)
JWT Authentication + Refresh Tokens
Secure Auth Middlewares
Type-safe backend with TypeScript
Prisma ORM integration
Logging & monitoring setup (winston / pino-style logger)
Proper error handling + global exception layer
🎟️ Ticketing System (Real-World Logic)
Multiple categories: Silver, Gold, Platinum, Fanpit
Each category has separate availability
10-minute reservation system
→ When a user selects tickets, they get 10 minutes to complete the booking
→ Tickets stay reserved during that window
Session logic
→ Each category creates its own session
→ User must complete or delete the session before booking again
Queue style / pressure control logic to prevent overselling (MERN-friendly version)
📱 Frontend (React Native + Expo + NativeWind)
Clean UI built using NativeWind
