# Backend

This repository contains the backend code for the application. It utilizes FastAPI that allows to quickly create a RESTful API that exposes the endpoints of the route optimizer.


## Getting Started
- The code of the python application is located in the `src` directory.
- Package management is handled with `pipenv` and the dependencies are listed in the `Pipfile`.
- Since the application is aimed to be deployed in a container, the `Dockerfile` is provided to build the image.

### Deployment
To deploy the backend docker container, we use kubernetes. The deployment configuration is located under [https://git.kluster.moll.re/anydev/deployment-backend/](https://git.kluster.moll.re/anydev/deployment-backend/).
