Architecture

The app follows a multi-module architecture, allowing each feature to function independently while maintaining a shared codebase for common functionality. The app is structured as follows:

• Matchmaking & Dating Module
• Buy/Sell/Rent Module
• Job Search Module
• Matrimony Module
• Core Module (Shared components like network, database, utilities)

This modular architecture enhances maintainability, scalability, and testing. Each module can be developed, tested, and deployed independently, reducing the complexity of the overall system.
