Backend Architecture & Scalability Discussion

[jinu721]

Hey
First of all, great work on Donor Sync really love the idea and the impact this project is trying to make. Respect to the whole team

I was going through the architecture and noticed that most of the logic directly interacts with firestore from the frontend. I totally understand why this was chosen (fast development, MVP/prototype stage), and it makes a lot of sense for that phase.

That said, I was wondering if you’ve considered introducing a lightweight backend (for example via Firebase Cloud Functions or a separate API layer) for handling sensitive logic, validations, and future scalability especially since this is a healthcare related platform.

I’m very interested in contributing to this project, and if you’re open to it, I’d be happy to help design and handle the backend side (architecture, APIs, security-focused logic, CI/CD, etc.) while keeping Firebase where it makes sense. Of course, this is totally up to your vision for the project just wanted to start the discussion
