Labs26-Apollo-Team-C Backend

Welcome to the Apollo Backend Repository.

Apollo Product its a software product tool to help leadership guide the vision and delivery of the team. Most software team management software focuses on task management instead of vision alignment. Apollo is focused on leading with vision, and supporting a team by unblocking them rather than by managing flow of tasks.

The survey asks the leader a series of questions, and then shares the response with the team and asks them to answer a new series of questions in response to the leader's post.

Setup postgres

There are 3 options to get postgresql installed locally [Choose one]:

1. Use docker. Install for your platform

   • Open a browser to pgadmin and you should see the Dev server already defined.
   • If you need to start over you will need to delete the folder $ rm -rf ./data/pg as this is where all of the server data is stored.
     • if the database api-dev was not created then start over.
2. Download and install postgresql directly from the main site
   • make note of the port, username and password you use to setup the database.
   • Connect your client to the server manually using the values previously mentioned
   • You will need to create a database manually using a client.
