Movie Recommendation Application

This project is a web application that allows users to receive movie recommendations and track their watched movies. It consists of two main components: backend and frontend.

Project Structure

• movie-app-backend: Backend API and movie recommendation system
• movie-app: Frontend application developed with Next.js
• movie-poster-updater: Tool used to update movie posters

4. Launch a new port for the recommendation system:

   node start-recommendations.js

Frontend Setup

Movie Recommendation System

The movie recommendation system runs on a separate port from the main backend, providing the following advantages:

• Calculating recommendations does not block other API operations
• More resources can be allocated
• Better performance under high load

For more details, see the movie-app-backend/README-RECOMMENDATIONS.md file.
