Helix Web Services (HWS)
------------------------

Please note this is **alpha** software.

The Helix Web Services are a group of microservices used to provide additional
features and easier application integration on a Helix Versioning Engine.

Official deployment and documentation is in progress. 


## Architectural Overview

Our bootstrapping system will set up a single machine with all microservices
installed. These include:

 * p4_web_api: An HTTP frontend to many P4API commands
 
 * p4_project_services: A JSON specification for projects
 
 * p4_phoenix_services: HTTP API for alpha Phoenix desktop client
 
 * phoenix_updater: A websocket server for Phoenix desktop notifications
 
 * notification_services: An HTTP API for pushing trigger events quickly from
   the p4d triggers table to applications

There are other projects available in this system, such as common authentication
middleware, client SDKs, etc. A more complete overview will be provided by
official HTML documentation under way.
