This blog post describes my experience working on the CanonForces project during FOSS Overflow.

In this blog, I wrote about the features I implemented such as Past Contests, Codeforces verification, coin reward system, community solutions, execution pipeline, and the 1v1 real-time quiz system. I also discussed the technical challenges I faced while working with Socket.io, Redis, Firestore, APIs, and real-time synchronization, along with the debugging process and lessons I learned.

Overall, this blog is a reflection on how this project helped me understand the difference between writing code and building interconnected systems.
