Technology

Dine Forward is a Next.js application that uses an Express-based back-end via Keystone. It can be run locally via a development server, as well as deployed into various environments that support Docker containers.

Dine Forward is deployed on Google's CloudRun platform using Adapt.js.

To deploy a simple staging environment, make sure the Google Cloud SDK is installed, the gcloud command is in your path, and that you have enabled billing and Cloud Run on GCP. Then simply run:
