US13 - Deploy Backend Services to Production Environment

[RamirezJM]

As a SecondChance User
I need the application backend services to be deployed to a live, publicly accessible cloud platform
So that users worldwide can access the SecondChance platform anytime from anywhere.

Details and Assumptions

• The deployment will target a cloud platform (such as IBM Cloud, Code Engine, or similar services specified in the course).
• Environment variables, MongoDB production connection strings, and security measures (like CORS and HTTPS) must be properly configured in the production environment.

Acceptance Criteria

Given the backend Docker containers or build packages are ready for release
When the final deployment process to the cloud platform is executed
Then the backend services should be live, and a GET request to the public API health endpoint should return a successful response
