Deploy on Render

Deploy this project as a single Render Web Service from GitHub. Express serves the built React app from client/build, and Socket.IO runs on the same service origin.

Render can use render.yaml as a Blueprint, or you can create a Web Service manually with the same settings:

• Build command: npm ci && npm ci --prefix client && npm run build --prefix client
• Start command: npm start
• Health check path: /healthz
• Required environment variable: MONGODB_URI
• Suggested instance type: Free for demos

Before deploying, rotate the old MongoDB Atlas password and set the new connection string as MONGODB_URI in Render. Do not commit real database credentials.

If MongoDB Atlas has an IP access list enabled, allow Render outbound access. For a demo app, the simplest option is allowing 0.0.0.0/0; for production, use a tighter network setup.
