Description

Lots of moving parts, good to know how they all fit together (esp. for new contributors) in a README or Wiki.

Front end

• React, creat-react-app
• Material UI
• Basically just look at package.json
• PR's should generate deploys automatically. Amplify not working, switch to GH Actions?

Back end

(internal/core group has dev and prod keys for many of these)

• AWS Amplify for deploys and builds (connected to GitHub repo)
• AWS Lambda with Flask for creating API endpoints (/self-report, /countries, etc.). Documentation via Swagger (???) started but need to learn the process now that Gabe is gone.
• AWS DynamoDB to store user submissions
• AWS DynamoDB to store COVID data (just countries now), scraped from JHU on a (???) basis
• AWS Route53 for domains
• The API in AWS was set up using Zappa (Python scaffold thing for AWS)
• Google Firebase to handle user auth

Accounts and platforms

• Jira for proj mgmt migrating away from this in favor of GH Issues
• GitHub organization (Jason set up), no GH user created. Connected to Jira and AWS.
• Gmail acct
• MapBox (no billing info entered, 200k tiles views free per month)
• FB developers (to allow auth via FB)
