+## Description
+
+The project will consist of developing a frontend application consuming an already existing external API, with a focus on implementing a complete and automated DevOps workflow.
+
+GitLab will be used as the main development platform and GitLab CI/CD will automate the build, testing, and release processes. Vercel will be used for automated deployment of the application or maybe Gitlab pages.
+
+Docker Compose will be used to define the infrastructure and local development environment. GitLab security policies and potentially Renovate will be used for security and dependency management.
+
+The CI/CD workflow will also include automated release management, including the creation of Git tags and GitLab releases after successful validation.
+
+The use of AI-assisted development tools will be documented, including how they are used and a critical reflection on their benefits and limitations.
+
+**Relevance**
+
+The project demonstrates several core DevOps practices in an integrated workflow, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, security automation, dependency management, and automated release management.
+
+The different components will be integrated into a single workflow, allowing changes to be automatically tested, validated, released, and deployed. This provides a practical example of how DevOps practices can be applied to a modern frontend application.
