Background of the problem

Agriculture is a strategic sector in national development and increasing national income as a whole. However, several obstacles hinder its development.

  2. Provides an online encyclopedia that allows more experienced farmers or agricultural experts to share their knowledge with novice farmers.
  3. Making it easier for farmers to market their harvest through the buying and selling feature.

Technology Highlights

Tanampedia is an Android app made using the Flutter cross-platform development framework. We integrated several cloud-based services to deliver our app.

The core services we used are PolarDB for MySQL as our cloud data storage service and Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) as our server backend. We also integrated our application with Alibaba Cloud Machine Translation to provide auto-translated content in our App.

As we are using the mobile Android application, most of the source code is made in Flutter using the Dart programming language. Then we build the Flutter app into an installable APK.

Once the APK is installed on the user's device, it will communicate with other cloud services. The first communication is with the Firebase Authentication service to provide users with quick authentication using Google login features. After that, the app will access the REST API from Alibaba Cloud ECS.

In ECS, we used the Windows version with both Node JS and Apache for PHP installed. Node JS with the Express framework is the core backend REST API that stores database queries, REST API methods, and logic before being executed by the PolarDB service.

PHP with the Codeigniter framework is the backend REST API that handles the machine translation service through the PHP SDK for Alibaba Cloud Machine Translation Service. Picture assets are stored and retrieved from Firebase Storage.
