Reference

The server component is currently hosted on a DigitalOcean droplet (http://167.99.175.36), using Node.js and mongoDB. The uploaded artist files are hosted on Google Cloud Storage. Eventually, we would like to move this off of DigitalOcean and onto the DMA server. We are currently using jSPDF to generate PDFs on the client side. This is a temporary test and we are exploring other tools.

The Backend spec outlines the API the server provides. TODO: Move this document to this readme once API is more stable.
