Document Verification:
// Replace in src/app/api/ai/analyze/route.ts
// Current: generateMockVerification()
// Replace with: Google Cloud Vision API or AWS RekognitionRecommended APIs:
- Google Cloud Vision API
- AWS Rekognition
- Onfido (built for identity)
Smart Contract:
// Simple credential storage contract
mapping(string => uint256) public credentials; // hash → timestampSteps:
- Deploy to Polygon Mumbai testnet
- Update
src/app/api/credentials/route.ts - Store transaction hash in database
- Add rate limiting (
express-rate-limit) - Add Sentry for error tracking
- Add LogRocket for session replay
- Set up CI/CD pipeline
- Configure custom domain
- Add SSL certificate (automatic with Vercel)
Completed:
- ✅ Full database integration
- ✅ JWT authentication
- ✅ File upload system
- ✅ All API routes updated
Next:
- Real AI API integration
- Blockchain smart contract
- Production deployment
