The backend cannot be deployed to Vercel due to Python dependency issues (faiss-cpu compatibility).
## Option 1: Deploy Backend to Render (Recommended)
1. Go to [render.com](https://render.com) and sign in
2. Click "New +" → "Web Service"
3. Connect your GitHub repository
4. Configure:
- **Name**: `escalation-api-backend`
- **Runtime**: Python 3
- **Build Command**: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
- **Start Command**: `uvicorn src.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT`
5. Add Environment Variables:
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`: Your Gemini API key
6. Deploy
Your backend will be at: `https://escalation-api-backend.onrender.com`
## Option 2: Deploy Backend to Railway
1. Go to [railway.app](https://railway.app) and sign in
2. Click "New Project" → "Deploy from GitHub repo"
3. Select your repository
4. Add environment variables in the Variables tab
5. Railway auto-deploys
Your backend will be at: `https://your-app.up.railway.app`
## Update Frontend
After deploying the backend, update the frontend environment variable in Vercel:
1. Go to Vercel Dashboard → Your Project → Settings → Environment Variables
2. Add/Update: `VITE_API_URL` = `https://your-backend-url.onrender.com`
3. Redeploy frontend
## Local Development
### Backend:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn src.main:app --reload
```
### Frontend:
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev
```
Set `VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000` in `frontend/.env`
