## Background

My uncle sells jewelry and had been using Prestashop for years. My limited understanding of Prestashop, a PHP application, made it hard to customize the platform and optimize it for speed. Meanwhile, I was looking to strengthen my knowledge of the AWS ecosystem and experiment with ways of working that my day job did not allow for. I ended up building this system that costs next to nothing - around $1 USD/month - to host and scales well. 

## Installation

1. Copy `.example.env` to `.env`

1. `npm install`

## Running locally

1. `node local.js`

## Deploying to AWS

Unless you are me:

1. Change the `ARTIFACTS_BUCKET` in `Makefile`.

1. Make sure you have a custom domain name set up in API Gateway

1. Change `DomainName` from `aws.triplehead.net` in your `cloudformation.yml`

Now, to actually deploy:

1. `make deploy`
