Overview of Fortis architecture with project-fortis-services responsibility highlighted

This repository implements a NodeJS GraphQL server that sits in between the Fortis data-store (Cassandra) and the Fortis frontend (React).

Development setup

As per the diagram above, there are two pieces necessary to run this repository locally: a Cassandra database and the GraphQL server. You can spin up both of these pieces using Docker via the following command:

git clone https://github.com/CatalystCode/project-fortis-services
cd project-fortis-services
docker-compose up

After the server started, head over to the following URLs to play with the service:
