Go Drive - Ride Sharing App (Database Management Project)

Go Drive is a database management system designed to support a ride-sharing application, focusing on efficient management and retrieval of data related to users, drivers, rides, and transactions. The project aims to create an optimized system that can handle real-time ride requests and store large volumes of data securely and efficiently.

Features

• User Management: Allows users to register, log in, and manage their profiles.
• Driver Management: Enables drivers to register, log in, and track their available rides.
• Ride Management: Manages ride requests, including ride initiation, acceptance, and completion.
• Transaction History: Keeps track of completed rides and transactions.
• Real-time Data Handling: Designed to efficiently handle and process real-time ride requests.

Technologies Used

• Database: MySQL for relational database management.
• Backend: Node.js and Express.js for backend development.
• Frontend: React (Optional: If included in the project for user interface).
• Authentication: JWT (JSON Web Token) for secure user and driver authentication.
• Version Control: Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration.
