+# Deployment Guide
+
+This guide will help you self-host your own instance of **urBackend**.
+
+## 1. Deploying the Backend
+
+You can deploy the backend to platforms like [Render](https://render.com) or [Railway.app](https://railway.app).
+
+### Prerequisites
+- **MongoDB Atlas**: Create a free cluster for your database.
+- **Redis**: Use [Upstash](https://upstash.com) for a managed Redis instance.
+
+### Environment Variables
+Ensure you set the following in your platform's dashboard:
+
+```env
+PORT=3000
+MONGO_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
+REDIS_URL=your_redis_url
+JWT_SECRET=your_secret_key
+# Add other keys required by your .env.example
+```
+
+### Steps
+1. Connect your GitHub repository to Render/Railway.
+2. Set the root directory to `backend/`.
+3. Add the environment variables listed above.
+4. Deploy!
+
+## 2. Deploying the Frontend
+
+You can deploy the Vite/React dashboard to [Vercel](https://vercel.com) or Render.
+
+### Steps
+1. Import the repository in Vercel.
+2. Set the root directory to `frontend/`.
+3. Add the following environment variable:
+   - `VITE_API_BASE_URL`: The URL of your deployed backend (e.g., `https://your-backend.onrender.com`).
+4. Deploy!
