Description

The source of data for several projects including my Dorkinians Website V3 and Travel Website, providing a route for data retrieval from a Neo4j graph using GraphQL queries.

Lessons Learned

Taught me about setting up a Flask server and opening up endpoints for data retrieval. Also taught me about how best to organise and manage Python code in a growing codebase given my past experience with Python had been for single script projects.

Also forced me into developing debugging documentation for myself after making the same mistakes twice and ensuring a third time never happened by writing a checklist for understanding why the backend server crashed.
