Background
There are a lot of CRM systems available in the market currently such as Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.
The problem with these systems are that they are very broad and quite expensive and not easy to use and also needs a dedicated developer to manage it, which becomes hard for SMEs to use and keep using these systems.
So, I decided to make a CRM system which is easy to use have important required functionalities and at the same time not too expensive for SMEs.
How I built it
I have used linode's compute instances for servers and the linode's managed PostgreSQL databasefor persistent storage.
While making this app I have learned to create compute instances in the linode's cloud platform.
I have also learned installing Ngnix server and SSL certificate on the server.
I have also learned creating a managed database instance on cloud and why it is an easy solution for solo devs and small teams as one does not need to manage the database by themselves.
I have used Laravel web framework for creating the app. I have also used Filament admin panel generator to quickly generate CRUD app functionality.
