## NYUPrinters

An application to help students find working printers on the NYU campus. This project started out as a way to monitor 

printers at Bobst Library for student staff. Since then, it has since grown into a full-fledged project with the

goal of monitoring printers across NYU.

## Design

The app is designed to be run as containers on docker or pods on kubernetes. It consists of 4 microservices: `sourced`, `statusd`, `updated`, and `store`. 

Each microservice is responsible for various tasks as shown below:
