Selling-Property 🏠

A mini full-stack property listing website built with Node.js and Express, deployed on AWS EC2.

This project was built as part of my Cloud Computing Internship task to demonstrate deploying a Node.js backend application on an AWS EC2 instance.

Features

• Browse property listings (apartments, villas, plots)
• Search and filter properties by location, type, and max price
• View detailed information for each property
• Add new property listings through a form
• Delete existing listings
• Responsive, clean UI

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Frontend: EJS (Embedded JavaScript templates), HTML, CSS
• Data Storage: JSON file (lightweight, no external database required)
• Deployment: AWS EC2 (Amazon Linux)
• Process Manager: PM2 (keeps the app running continuously on the server)
