Exiting Isn’t it. And now, we own the swag! Yuhooo!!!! So, What say ready to play cricket?😋

So, throughout this blog I will give you details about Nimbella, our project Structure, the project Idea and Deployment on Nimbella:

About Nimbella :

Nimbella is a platform which gives pace in development and deployment of serverless applications along with ease of development. Developer does not need to worry about anything except development at all.

About Our Food Track App:

India is facing major Hunger and Malnutrition issues in the awake of this pandemic.

22% Of India’s Population is below poverty line. They rely on government for their survival from food to clothing. Every now and then we hear the news that food/grains to be distributed to poor were illegally exported to foreign countries, Much of the food was lost during transit from warehouse to Food Distribution Shops, change in quality of grains being distributed to poor etc.

So, the idea here is to come up with a transparent system to keep track of quantity and quality of food, reduce corruption, reduce wastage and follow a sole logo “Food to All”.
