CSC3916 Assignment 1 - Echo Server

Project Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to setup your GitHub and Heroku (or Rendor) instances for future assignments

Project Overview

This project is a simple Echo Server deployed on Render. It accepts 'POST' requests and returns the same data sent in the request body.
