METSCOPE

Metscope is an ExpressJS API that is designed to accumulate and propagate weather and webcam data.

Technology

• ExpressJS for API infrastructure
• PostgreSQL for database services
• Winston and Morgan for logging
• Loggly.com for production logging
• Docker for containerisation
• Docker-Compose for services management
• Mocha, Chai, and SuperTest for unit testing

Installation

• Clone the repo
• Ensure Docker-Compose is installed on your machine
• docker-compose up
• This will bring the API and database services online, exposing the web API at localhost:3000
• Database data will persist even after taking containers offline
• Database data can be nuked entirely by deleting the ./database/db_data directory
