Quick Deployment Options

1. Render (Recommended - Free & Easy)

# Add this to package.json scripts if not already there
"scripts": {
  "start": "node src/index.js"
}

Steps:

1. Push your code to GitHub
2. Go to render.com and sign up
3. Connect your GitHub repo
4. Deploy as a "Web Service"
5. Render will auto-detect Node.js and deploy

Pros: Free tier, automatic HTTPS, easy setup Cons: Free tier sleeps after 15 min of inactivity

2. Railway

# Install Railway CLI
npm install -g @railway/cli

# Login and deploy
railway login
railway init
railway up

Pros: Simple deployment, good free tier Cons: Limited free usage

3. Vercel (Serverless)

First, let's make it Vercel-compatible:

vercel.json

# Install Vercel CLI
npm install -g vercel

# Deploy
vercel

Pros: Fast, free, great for static + API Cons: Serverless (todos reset between requests)

 My Recommendation for Your Team

Go with Render - it's the sweet spot for your use case:

1. Deploy in 5 minutes:

   • Push to GitHub
   • Connect to Render
   • Get a permanent URL like https://team-todos.onrender.com

2. Share with colleagues:

   • Send them the URL
   • Everyone can use it immediately
   • No setup required on their end

3. Easy updates:

   • Just push to GitHub
   • Auto-deploys in ~2 minutes
