Accessing the project via deployment

As the deployed microservices are not registered with a Public Certificate Authority, they are currently running using Self-Signed Certificates. For the application to work, please follow the steps below.

1. Access the respective microservices via the urls below:

• User Service: https://userservice-prod.eba-zwpkkbny.ap-southeast-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/api/user or click here.
• Question Service: https://questionservice-prod.eba-ug263jf3.ap-southeast-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/api/question or click here.
• Matching Service: https://matchingservice-prod.eba-2etwbb9w.ap-southeast-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/api/match or click here.
• History Service: https://historyservice-prod.eba-hvcsiqpb.ap-southeast-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/api/history or click here.
• Twilio Service: https://twilioservice-prod.eba-vfd4pt2p.ap-southeast-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/ or click here.

2. Your browser should display a warning about the site, as shown in the image below.
3. Click on Show advanced, and select the option to proceed to the url. This would cause the browser to accept the self-signed certificate.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) for the remaining microservices.
5. Once done, access the deployed application at https://www.cs3219-peerprep-g39.com or click here. The application should work as normal.

Running the project locally
