Challenges with Legacy System and Community Engagement

The existing monolithic website built on outdated technology (Node.js with layered JavaScript) suffered from poor performance, high maintenance costs, and limited flexibility. The platform lacked modern collaboration features, had a cumbersome admin panel for content management, and could not scale to support growing community interactions or data storage needs.
