AWS architecture

Updated May 19, 2022

Currently, the AWS setup is based on this post with some references to the CPS Covid Dashboard back-end.

TODO: Describe how to make updates to the code in AWS

Getting started

Set up a virtual environment with python3 -m venv .venv and activate it with source .venv/bin/activate (.venv\Scripts\activate in Windows). Then run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required packages.

To set environment variables, create a .env file in the top-level directory and add the following contents:

BUCKET_PUBLIC='chn-ghost-buses-public'
BUCKET_PRIVATE='chn-ghost-buses-private'

Note that there may be permissions issues when running rt_daily_aggregations.py with BUCKET_PUBLIC as the BUCKET_NAME.
