Vercel Clone

A simplified Vercel-like platform for deploying, hosting, and serving web applications automatically.
This project uses Node.js, TypeScript, Express, Redis, AWS S3, and simple-git, and includes a frontend for submitting deployment requests.

---

Features

• Upload Service:

  • Accepts a repository URL, clones it, collects files, and uploads them to S3.
  • Tracks upload status in Redis and exposes status endpoints.

• Deploy Service:

  • Watches Redis for new uploads, downloads files from S3, builds React projects, uploads built files to S3, and updates status.

• Request Handler:

  • Express server on port 3001, handles wildcard routes, extracts subdomain, fetches files from S3, and serves them with correct content types.

• Frontend:

  • Simple form for users to submit repository URLs and check deployment status.
