Let's Build Project Management System Pt. 1

Saturday, February 14, 2026

Welcome!

In this article series, we are going to build a project management system (or an issue tracking system) called Peter. The tech stack we will use includes Express for the back end and React for the front end. Along the way, we will also use GraphQL. The database will be PostgreSQL.

Please install the following software before we proceed:

  1. Node v24+
  2. npm v11+
  3. PostgreSQL 17+
  4. Insomnia (or any API client)
  5. VS Code (or any text-editor)
  6.  Terminal (I guess you already have one!)

Take your time to install this software. Once you're ready, head over to the next article.
