🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
• Terraform >= 1.0
• Node.js >= 18
• Python 3.9+ (for local development)

1. Deploy Infrastructure

cd infrastructure
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

2. Set up Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run build

The frontend will be automatically deployed via AWS Amplify as part of the Terraform deployment.

3. Access the Application

After successful deployment, access your application at the Amplify-generated URL or your custom domain.
