What does this boilerplate do?

It provide an HTTP server that have two endpoint:

GET /: List all points saved

To run it locally, install the project dependencies by launching:

yarn install

Once started, you can start the HTTP server by running:

PORT=3001 INFLUX_URL=REPLACE_ME yarn run start

Replace REPLACE_ME string with a valid URL pointing to an InfluxDB server.

Deploying it on Scalingo

To deploy it on Scalingo, run the following commands:

scalingo create MY_APP                  # Create a new app on Scalingo
scalingo addons-add influxdb free       # Add the Influx addon
