🚀 How to Run (Quick Start)

Option 1: 5 Terminal Windows (Recommended for development)

# Terminal 1: Database
docker run -d --name postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
  -p 5432:5432 postgres:15

# Terminal 2: Redis
docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7

# Terminal 3: API Server
cd api-server
npm install && npm start

# Terminal 4: Frontend
cd frontend-nextjs
npm install && npm run dev

# Terminal 5: S3 Reverse Proxy
cd s3-reverse-proxy
npm install && npm start

Then visit: http://localhost:3000

Option 2: Docker Compose (Easiest)

# Set your AWS credentials
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret

# Run all services
docker-compose up

Visit: http://localhost:3000
