Getting Started

To run the project locally:

# Step 1: Clone the repository
git clone <YOUR_REPO_URL>

# Step 2: Navigate to the project directory
cd taskflow

# Step 3: Install dependencies
npm install

# Step 4: Start the development server
npm run dev

Editing the Project

You can make changes using any IDE or editor. All key configurations and UI logic reside in the src/ folder.

Deployment

To deploy TaskFlow, consider using platforms like Vercel, Netlify, or any static hosting service that supports Vite.

Custom Domain

If deploying to Vercel or Netlify, you can add a custom domain via their dashboard settings.

Scaling Frontend-Backend Integration for Production

To scale TaskFlow for production:

Frontend:

• Deploy the frontend separately on Vercel or Netlify with environment variables pointing to your backend API.
• Use code-splitting and lazy loading (React.lazy, Suspense) to reduce initial load.
• Cache static assets with long-lived headers and use a CDN for global asset delivery.

Backend:

• Containerize the backend using Docker for environment consistency.
• Use a process manager like PM2 for node processes and host via Render, Railway, or a managed VPS.
• Enforce rate limiting, logging, and monitoring using tools like morgan, winston, and third-party observability services.
• Move secrets (JWT secret, DB URI) into a secrets manager or use .env with strict production permissions.

Integration:

• Ensure CORS is configured correctly between frontend and backend.
• Use HTTPS everywhere (SSL cert via Let's Encrypt or managed hosting).
• Structure backend with route versioning (e.g., /api/v1/tasks) for forward compatibility.

This foundation supports modular growth, API gateway insertion, microservices, or GraphQL in future upgrades.
