Deploy the Learning Server (Backend)

Use this module as your backend deployment run for the multiparty demo.

By the end, you should have a reachable backend URL and a verified /session response you can immediately reuse in the frontend exercise.

If you want a token refresher before you begin, see Create token.

Note In this exercise, the backend environment is provisioned for you and the demo Node.js backend is built automatically in Codespaces. If you prefer local setup, use Server setup for groups.

While running the exercise

  1. Start the JavaScript coding exercise.

  2. Wait for Codespace provisioning to complete.

  3. Follow the guided terminal steps.

  4. Copy and keep the backend URL shown by the exercise.

  5. Keep this response contract in view while you validate:

    The handler returns the Application ID, Session ID, and token back to the browser so it can initialize the SDK.

  6. Verify /session returns:

    • applicationId
    • sessionId
    • token

Done criteria

  • Backend URL saved.
  • Verification step completed.
  • No missing-credentials startup errors.

Production note

Keep credentials and private keys on the server only. Token generation stays backend-side.
