This is the matching engine we are building to match students with each other & ideas!

To clone the app, run in terminal:

git clone https://github.com/ac-i2i-engineering/matching-engine.git
cd matching-engine

Set-up a virtual environment and activate it to "containerize" the dependencies:

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

To run the app locally, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
cd matching_backend
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

We use modularized pytest-django-based unit-tests and GitHub Actions to test our backend ("business") logic in an end-to-end CI/CD environment. We also run custom regression-tests and deployment/integration-tests through a combination of technologies like Railway, Vercel & npm. This is to have health-checks on the system & give our developers extensive experience in technologies that they most-likely will encounter in industry settings.
