DEPLOYMENT.md
Push to main → GitHub Actions builds the Docker image, pushes to GHCR, then triggers Render to pull and deploy.
- API: taskforge-api-9i9h.onrender.com
- Swagger Docs: taskforge-api-9i9h.onrender.com/docs
Note: Hosted on Render's free tier — the service sleeps after 15 minutes of inactivity. If the first request hangs, it's waking up (~30 seconds). Just wait and retry.
Swagger UI is available at /docs once the server is running.
