Based on the code provided, here's what you can focus on to resolve the events not showing up in production. Since tasks are working correctly but events aren't, and both use similar patterns, the key difference likely lies in how the events data is being handled in the frontend. First, verify that your events API endpoint is being called correctly in production by adding more detailed logging in your events route handler. Then, check that the date handling in your Event model is consistent between environments.
Here's what to implement: Add comprehensive logging in your events route to track the exact data being sent, ensure your frontend is using the correct API URL for events (similar to your tasks implementation), and verify that the date formats are being properly parsed when creating Event objects. You can also add a specific date format validation in your Event schema to ensure consistency across environments. The fact that tasks work while events don't suggests the issue is specific to the event data handling rather than a general API connectivity problem.
