Practice project
Tech Stack: MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React with Vite, Node.js) + Chakra UI + React Router + React Icons)
Maintenance: To keep the application running 24/7 and bypass free-tier limitations with mongodb.
Backend (onRender): Render's free tier spins down after 15 minutes of silence. To prevent this, an external cron job is configured.
Tool: cron-job.org.
Purpose: Constant pings prevent Render from sleeping and ensure MongoDB remains active due to consistent connection traffic.
