## Migration Strategy

Flask and Sinatra run side by side during migration. Functionality is moved route by route – read-only endpoints first, authentication and write logic later. Both versions share the same SQLite database in the interim.

---

## Setup

### Ruby / Sinatra

```bash

cd ruby-sinatra

bundle config set --local path vendor/bundle

bundle install

bundle exec ruby app.rb

```

App runs on `http://localhost:4567`

### Python / Flask (Legacy)

```bash

cd python-legacy

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

python app.py

```

App runs on `http://localhost:5000`
