Pengembangan Platform Digital Komunitas Alumni Universitas Al-Azhar Berbasis Web Menggunakan Nextjs dan Prisma ORM

Abstract

This report presents the development of a web-based digital platform for the alumni community of Al-Azhar University using Next.js and Prisma ORM. The project addresses the lack of an official, centralized channel for alumni data management, communication, and professional networking, which has relied on unstructured social media. The objective is to design and implement a system that facilitates alumni connections, centralizes alumni records, and provides professional features such as discussion forums, profile management, and an administrative dashboard. The methodology includes observation and interviews, system design (use cases, database schema, and UI mockups), and implementation using Next.js for an integrated frontend-backend architecture and Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL for data management. Delivered components include a landing page, admin dashboard, user dashboard, and a Campus Space module for topic-based discussions. Findings indicate the platform improves alumni connectivity and streamlines institutional data management. Recommended next steps include developing a mobile version and further optimizing topic features for performance and usability.
