+# GATool API
+
+![gatool-api deploy status](https://github.com/arthurlockman/gatool-api/actions/workflows/main_gatool-api.yml/badge.svg)
+
+gatool is a tool to provide FIRST® Game Announcers with up to date information while announcing events during the FIRST Robotics season. As a web-based tool, it uses up-to-date information about the event to provide a comprehensive set of useful data to Game Announcers. It is designed to work on desktops, laptops and tablet devices. In a pinch, it can be used on a mobile phone.
+
+You will need a login to access the tool. All registered GAs and MCs will receive an invitation with a login and password.

+## Contributions
+
+We welcome any and all contributions! Please feel free to fork the repository and contribute back to our development. [Issues can be filed in the GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/arthurlockman/gatool-api/issues/new).
+
+## Development
+
+This section has information on how to build and deploy the project.
+
+### Building
+
+GAtool's backend is built on nodejs. To run the application, run:
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:arthurlockman/gatool-api.git
+cd gatool-api
+npm i
+npm run start
+```
+
+The app won't be able to do anything without proper Azure key authentication. This means development outside our core team will be difficult.
+
+### Deployment
+
+GAtool is deployed on Azure. We are using Azure Block Storage for user uploads, and Azure VMs to host the service itself. We deploy using [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io) to our hosts.
