TripVerse is a useful tool for saving time and effort in organizing a trip. It helps travelers keep track of their itinerary and stay organized during the trip.

After setting up, the frontend will run in http://localhost:3000/. As the continuous deployed backend is running on Heroku https://api.ourtripverse.com/. If the backend is running properly, you should see a Hello World! message. You can use the api to test the frontend.

Also, you can test the local backend by accessing http://localhost:8080/.

We use GitHub Actions to build and deploy our project. The workflow is triggered when a pull request is created or merged into the DEV or main branch. The workflow will build the frontend and backend. And deploy the backend to Heroku, and the frontend to Vercel.

Our CI/CD setup files are located in the .github/workflow folder.
