MetricsFlow

A live Fortnite island metrics dashboard. It started as a group project for the Context of the Code module (Immersive Software Engineering, UL, Spring 2026).

The original system ran on a university VM. It used four collectors, a Redis upload queue, two FastAPI services, Postgres and a React dashboard. That code is preserved at this commit.

This version is cut down so it can run for free on Vercel:

• src/: React + Vite + Tailwind + Recharts dashboard, plus the "About" and "How it went" write-up pages
• api/fortnite.js: a Vercel serverless function that proxies Epic's public Fortnite Ecosystem API, validates input and caches responses for 5 minutes

Run locally

npm install
npm run dev

npm run dev also serves /api/fortnite through a small Vite middleware, so you don't need the Vercel CLI.

Deploy

Import the repo into Vercel. It auto-detects Vite and needs no environment variables. vercel.json handles client-side routing.
