Modifications.md

This document outlines the modifications and decisions made while completing the VectorShift Integration Technical Assessment.

Frontend

Vite Instead of Vanilla React.js

Replaced the default create-react-app setup with Vite
Adjusted the project structure to align with Vite’s configuration.
Updated the package.json and vite.config.js to ensure compatibility with the existing setup.
Added necessary development dependencies for Vite.

Why I used Vite ?

I was facing some dependency conflicts and version issues with nodejs npm and react-scripts
Out of habbit and to complete the assesment quickly I switched to Vite
Everything works the same ✌️💯👌

Backend

Redis Server

Used Upstash Redis, a managed Redis cloud service, to simplify the setup and testing process.
Updated the Redis configuration in the backend to connect to the Upstash Redis instance via its URL and credentials.

Reason for Using Upstash:

Eliminated the need to install and manage a local Redis server.
Reduced setup complexity, allowing focus on the assessment's core tasks.

Run Commands

For Frontend use below commands instaed of `npm start`

`npm i`
`npm run dev`

For Backend, everything is same ✌️💯
