People who have relocated in the past have had to choose the best moving company to handle their jobs. With the internet, it has become easier, but limitations still exist in terms of the integrity of all moving services. On the Move has been created to keep mover convenience in mind. It will act as a "one-stop-platform" solution for relocators to plan out their moving process in a single place while also providing movers with the information required to take a decision, analyze the neighborhood, and create a role-based to-do list.

On the Move

Project Advisor: Dan Harkey

Introduction

When one decides to move, there are numerous things to consider, like which movers and packers to choose, what area to buy or rent houses in, and also where to avail services from once the move is completed. When current platforms were examined, it was found that they merely served as social media walls for people to post about their experiences. Moving is already a frustrating experience, and using those platforms will not help individuals when they intend to move.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the country's migration rate, according to the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement and led many of them to reevaluate where they wanted to live. With the internet, it has become simpler because many moving businesses have online platforms where they offer their moving services. The current solutions present in the market are very niche and solve one aspect of the entire process of moving. There is a lack of ecosystem and integration between these platforms and thus are not very user-friendly. There has been various web as well as mobile applications designed over time for people planning to move.

Deployment

We deployed our project on Amazon Web Service EC2 Instances. We deployed our frontend microservice on a single EC2 instance and backend microservice on another EC2 instance. Using the AWS auto scaling feature, we didn't need to deploy the backend on multiple instances. Instead, we enabled autoscaling and added an elastic load balancer to balance requests over multiple instances.
