Seeking Advice on Best Practices for Building a Modern Web App Using Flatlogic Generator

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a new web application project and am using the Flatlogic generator to speed up development. I have been able to get the basic structure up and running, but Iā€™m hoping to get some advice on best practices moving forward.

Are there any recommendations for optimizing performance especially with larger datasets. What is the best way to implement authentication securely using the generator built in features. How have you handled integrating third party APIs and what is worked well in your experience. Any general tips or tricks you wish you knew earlier when building your projects with Flatlogic. I also read this on this site https://flatlogic.com/blog/top-10-most-dead-easy-ways-to-make-a-web-app/blue-prism but I could not find anything. I am fairly new to using Flatlogic so I would appreciate any insights from more experienced developers. Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Best regards, [Anna]

Hello Anna, glad to see you here! Let me help with your questions from our side.

When working with larger datasets, you can optimize performance by: - Database Indexing: Make sure your database tables are properly indexed to speed up queries. - Pagination: Use pagination to load data in smaller chunks, making it easier to handle large datasets. - Caching: Implement caching to temporarily store frequently accessed data, reducing the load on your database. - Efficient Queries: Write efficient SQL queries and avoid fetching unnecessary data. Use joins and subqueries wisely.

For secure authentication: - Built-in Features: The Flatlogic Generator includes built-in authentication features like sign-in, sign-up, password reset, and email confirmation. - 2FA: Consider adding two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security. This can be done by customizing the code. - OAuth: Use OAuth to integrate social logins (Google, Facebook, Microsoft). This also requires some code customization.

When integrating third-party APIs: - API Integration: Add the necessary code to interact with third-party services after your app is generated. The generated app includes Swagger documentation to help with API integration. - Custom Code: Add custom JavaScript or backend code to handle API requests and responses. Use provided endpoints or create new ones as needed.

General tips and tricks: - Schema Editor: Use the schema editor to efficiently define your database models and relationships. This tool helps visualize and manage your data structure. - Code Customization: Since you own the source code, you can customize it to add new features or modify existing ones as needed. - Continuous Learning: Explore Flatlogicā€™s documentation and tutorials to stay updated on new features and best practices. - Community Support: Engage with the Flatlogic community to share experiences and get support from other users and developers.

Additionally, you can watch our tutorial videos on YouTube for more insights and guidance. For example: https://youtu.be/6wafvCqaukg?si=KkQfjvLQcRi7BCX0
