## Summary
Many food banks must store lots of data and information regarding their stock of various food items. Currently, most food banks do not provide a way for clients to remotely see what is in stock. This requires clients to physically go to the location to see what the food bank has available. Additionally, there is no centralized way for people to see the inventory at all their local food banks. We created an API for clients to easily check the inventory at multiple food banks as well as get directions, recipe ideas, and check the weather.

## External APIs
* Google Maps Embed API
* Users can query for directions to the desired food bank
* OpenWeatherMap API
* Check whether it is appropriate to travel to a foodbank on foot/bike
* Spoonacular
* Given the available inventory, give recipe recommendations

## Tools
* MySQL
* Created a MySQL database within a docker container to store inventory and food bank data
* Docker container to contain the APIs
* Packages all of our dependencies that we might need for our APIs
* Docker compose
* We created a docker-compose.yml to handle the setup for all our docker containers
