React frontend is hosted on Github Pages, Flask API and backend is hosted on AWS (Elastic Beanstalk).

Issues

• Critical issue with APScheduler on Elastic Beanstalk, which is used to schedule bike count updates and logging statuses. Live demo is currently broken, and cron is being considered as an alternative.

Tools Used

The front end is built using HTML/CSS and Javascript, using the React framework. Libraries used for this project include Recharts, React Leaflet, and React Autosuggest.

The back end API is built with Flask, and currently gives users real time and past week info for nearby station statuses, which it stores in a local SQLite database using SQLAlchemy.

Citibike status is collected using their GBFS API, and weather data is collected using the Darksky API
