# The Landfill

**`Coming Soon`**

The Landfill powers the [TrashScan App](https://github.com/iiTONELOC/trashscan-app) and is a rework of the existing implementation. The first version of the project had a back end with a true microservice architecture, powered by Azure. The free tier is too slow and their cheapest instance isn't cheap enough to host a mostly private app.

Heroku has instances with TLS that are starting at $7 per month. I remember when they had free dynos they were faster than Azure App Service's free tier. For this reason the backend has been reworked from a RESTful to a GraphQL API and refactored to work on one instance. With a modular approach, if the time to scale does come, we can separate it back to individual microservices. The main goal here is to demo the idea for cheap.
