Overview
In this tutorial, we will create a FullStack Twitter Clone that allows users to create and post tweets, follow other users, and like, and view their own profiles and the profiles of other users.

Tech Stack
Node.js for our backend code would run the graphql server inside the node.js environment.

GraphQL for our API provides a flexible and efficient way to define and query our data model.

Prisma ORM for our database ORM, which provides a type-safe and easy-to-use interface for interacting with our PostgreSQL database.

PostgreSQL is our database, which is a powerful and reliable relational database system.

Supabase for hosting and managing cloud Postgresql db.

Redis for query caching on the server side and increasing query speeds

Google OAuth for Sign in with Google

JSON WEB TOKENS for authentication

Next.js for our front end is a popular framework for building React applications with server-side rendering and optimized performance.

TailwindCSS for styling and reusable components.

Codegen for typesafe graphql queries and mutations.

Graphql-Request as API client for client-server communication

React-Query for client-side data caching and query caching

Typescript to maintain code quality and write type-safe code.

Amazon Web Services for storage and deployments.
