Database Setup

This project uses PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM.

1. Make sure you have a PostgreSQL database set up.

2. Update your apps/server/.env file with your PostgreSQL connection details.

3. Apply the schema to your database:

bun db:push

Then, run the development server:

bun dev

Open http://localhost:3001 in your browser to see the web application. The API is running at http://localhost:3000.
