U+1F44B Welcome back to our series on leveraging Julia for end-to-end machine learning and data science projects. In this post, we’ll explore using Julia to develop the server-side of an application that communicates with a JavaScript-based frontend via HTTP U+1F517. Here, we will explore how to handle cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) in Julia to enable communication between both sides of our application while maintaining its security U+1F512U+1F511U+1F465.
