I wanted to get an app live and here it is! I followed a tutorial from code drip to help me start this. Since this was supposed to be a simple test of my skills, I didn’t want to pay for a hosting solution. I checked digital ocean, amazon web services and google cloud platform. I also tried firebase, but it also seemed an overkill. So, I went with heroku! Initially I had an express app running for the api where it would only fetch the data from the redis database, a worker with a scheduled cron job and the react server for the frontend. In heroku I couldn’t find a way to expose both ports, so I went with a single express app for the frontend and for the api. I had to tweak the package.json files a lot to get to where the app is right now, but I like the final result! The source code can be found here
