Tech Stack

• Frontend Framework:

  • Next.js was chosen for its powerful features such as server-side rendering, static site generation, and seamless API routes integration, which are essential for building a fast and efficient user interface.

• AI Integration:

  • OpenAI API: Powers the AI chatbot with intelligent, conversational interactions on financial literacy and creates embeddings for text data.
  • Pinecone: Stores and retrieves these embeddings for efficient and relevant query matching.
  • Langchain: Extracts text from PDFs and facilitates the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) process.

Hosting and Infrastructure

• Server Hosting: Amazon EC2

  • The app is deployed on Amazon’s EC2 servers, ensuring scalability and reliability for handling user traffic and API requests.

• Web Server: Caddy

  • Caddy is used as the web server due to its simplicity, automatic HTTPS provisioning, and robust performance. It’s configured to serve the Next.js application efficiently.

• Domain Management:

  • Subdomain: The app is hosted on a custom subdomain (ahorramas.daianabilbao.xyz) which is managed via Cloudflare. Cloudflare provides DNS management, along with enhanced security and performance features, including DDoS protection and caching.
