HireMatrix

Project split for separate backend and frontend deployment.

Backend: Render

This repo includes render.yaml, so the easiest path is Render Blueprint deployment.

1. Push this repo to GitHub.
2. In Render, choose New > Blueprint.
3. Select this repo and apply the blueprint.
4. Add the secret value for GEMINI_API_KEY.
5. After deployment, open /api/health on the Render URL.

Manual settings if you create a Web Service instead:

Root directory: backend

Build command:

pip install -r requirements.txt && python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Start command:

gunicorn app:app

Set PYTHON_VERSION to 3.11.11. Set GEMINI_API_KEY and SECRET_KEY in Render. If the frontend is hosted on Vercel, set FRONTEND_ORIGIN to the Vercel URL.

Frontend: Vercel

Vercel root directory: frontend

Build command:

npm run build

Output directory:

dist

Set this Vercel environment variable:

HIREMATRIX_API_BASE=https://your-render-service.onrender.com

The frontend build writes that value to dist/config.js, and the browser uses it for all /api, /sample, and /reports calls.

After Vercel gives you a URL, update Render's FRONTEND_ORIGIN environment variable to that URL.
