Scorekeep
- RESTful web API that uses the Spring framework and the Amazon SDK for Java to provide an interface for creating and managing users, sessions, and games. The API is bundled with an Angular 1.5 web app that consumes the API over HTTP. Includes branches that show integration with Amazon Cognito, Amazon X-Ray, and Amazon Relational Database Service. The application uses features of the Java SE platform to download dependencies and build on-instance, minimizing the size of the souce bundle. The application also includes nginx configuration files that override the default configuration to serve the frontend web app statically on port 80 through the proxy, and route requests to paths under
/api
to the API running onlocalhost:5000
