The initial go-live is the milestone to get the first iteration of the API and/or front end deployed and running on a publicly accessible server. The goals of this milestone such that our social media application will have:

1. User registration workflow (sign up, emails, password reset, login)
2. Ability to follow and unfollow other profiles
3. Ability to post statuses or updates ("tweets") to followers.
4. A home view to view posts from other users
5. CI/CD to run tests and deploy project code to the server
