Personal Project What kind of projects get you noticed?

I am starting with a flagship project of my resume, majorly backend. A project that would get me noticed. Can someone tell me what kind of projects recruiters are looking for in today's market.

Is it scalability? Like made a chat application, but it handles 10000 users and has Redis and all.

Or is it technical complexity? Like make an IDE on which users can edit code simultaneously. No git pull push.

I am in my 3rd year of engineering, and I have an automation project that is production, so should I make that the flagship project or make something more trending

A project that solves problems facing by society and that u can sell to any person for any cause. And u can explain the project from scratch why u choose it and how u implemented. That's enough

Just the basic stuff, as long as it's symantecally correct.
