Steps to run locally

Backend

cd backend
npm i
npm run dev

Frontend

cd frontend
npm i
npm start

Another way to run for development is to run docker compose. This will run both frontend and backend and mount the directories. It will also create a database

Deployment

The backend is deployed with the Serverless framework as a lambda function. To deploy a new version just run serverless deploy.

The frontend may be deployed in multiple ways.

You also need to setup a MySQL database to be able to use the application. A script called setup.sql is provided in project root containing the necessary tables.
