AuctionTime

An auction website which I wrote for my SENG365 project. The backend (or middleware) is written using Express.js and the frontend in React.js.

Getting started

1. Please refer to the README file in the backend and then get the backend running first.
2. Then run the frontend. Similarly, there is a README.

Deployment

The most straightforward way to deploy this tool is to use Firebase to host both the frontend and the backend.

For the persistent layer, host your MySQL database on a VPS. Alternatively, you can rewrite "Model" scripts in the backend to make it suitable for a Microsoft SQL as Azure offers cheaper pricing than running an entire VPS on the Cloud through DigitalOcean.
