COVIDMarket Summary
Raw
COVIDMarket_summary.txt
App name: COVID Market
Description:
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the US economy.
Stay abreast of the unfolding situation with key COVID-19 statistics and economic indicators.
Gain insight into the market by comparing the current stock market with past recessions.
Technical info:
The app will display a customizable chart that allows the user to overlay various data.
The data will include COVID-19 case stats and economic data.
The data will be pulled from a few APIs into the database, to be served to the client as needed.
I will seed the database with some inflation-adjusted stock market data from the early 1900s that I calculated in Excel.
New stock market and COVID data will be pulled from APIs.
A script will run every 24hr via Heroku Scheduler that fetches the new data from the APIs and appends it to the database.
If time permits, I will try to add other economic data like unemployment rate and GDP.
For the database, I would like to use MongoDB, as I have been learning it with my mentor and want to get some experience with it, and I already used Postgres in the last capstone.
