Solution retrospective

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Getting the proxy server to work in production was a nightmare. I tried everything but was just getting errors when calling the express app on vercel so instead I used a different URL shortening API (Tinyurl). The proxy server worked in development but was getting many authorization and Cors errors which where a pain.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

How to deploy an express server on vercel. I was getting way too many errors.
