Problems & Solutions
Real production challenges faced while building this project — and how they were solved.
Problem
Complex role rules made authorization bugs easy — students could accidentally reach instructor-only screens.
Solution
Centralized permission checks on the NestJS backend and guarded Next.js dashboard routes by role before rendering sensitive pages.
Problem
Large course catalogs slowed search and listing pages.
Solution
Optimized database queries with Prisma, indexed frequently filtered fields and paginated course results on the API.
Problem
Frontend hydration and image-heavy hero sections caused uneven first paint.
Solution
Tuned Next.js image loading, deferred non-critical UI and kept layout shifts low with reserved media space.
Problem
Multiple stakeholder flows (student, teacher, business) created duplicated forms and inconsistent validation.
Solution
Extracted shared form patterns and validated payloads on both client and NestJS DTOs for consistent error handling.
Outcomes
- ▸Delivered a polished LMS experience with strong role separation
- ▸Improved listing performance for larger course catalogs
