I worked on the back-end. It was my first time using MongoDB and Flask, which was a little intimidating, but I learned a lot.

Lo and behold! Mine eyes have seen a way
To sidestep CORS, if one would only stay
Their hand from making API requests
Until they reach the server's nest.

With great mirth and glee, I now recall
The times when Google Maps API did enthrall
Me, as I journeyed through the digital land,
With Ngronk, Mantine UI, and Next at hand.

Oh! How sweet the memories of that day,
When technology and code didst sway
To create a world of wonder and delight,
Where maps and data came to life.

Let it be known throughout the land,
That the path to a seamless API demand
Is through the server, where all requests are made,
And CORS is but a distant shade.

Thus I end this tale of technology and lore,
And bid thee farewell until we meet once more.
