Cloud DevOps Journey

A personal project documenting the journey of building a full-stack, cloud-native application. This repository demonstrates a modern DevOps workflow using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Render.

📊 Project Status: Live on Render

This project is fully containerized, automated with CI/CD, and deployed live on the public internet.

• Production: The backend API is deployed on Render as a web service.
• CI/CD:
  • Continuous Integration (CI): GitHub Actions automatically lints Python/React code and validates the Docker build on every push.
  • Continuous Deployment (CD): Render is connected to this repo and automatically deploys any push to the main branch to production.
• Frontend: A React + Vite app (in progress).

🚀 Getting Started (Local Development)

You can run the entire backend stack on your local machine with a single command using Docker Compose.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/akshat1903kk/FastAPI-React-Lab.git](https://github.com/akshat1903kk/FastAPI-React-Lab.git)
   cd FastAPI-React-Lab

2. Start the application: This command builds the Docker image and starts the container.

   docker-compose up --build

3. Test the local API: The server will be running on your local machine.

   curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/status

   (Expected output: {"status":"DevOps Lab API is Live"})
