The Periodic Table of Life (PeTaL, pronounced petal) is a design tool aimed at allowing users to seemlesly move from ideas (from nature or other sources) to design.
PeTaL is comprised of multiple interconnected services. This repository houses the AWS CloudFormation template that creates the DynamoDB table, AWS API Gateway REST API, Lambdas, Step Functions, and S3 definitions for the labeller, and a json file with dummy data to load into the DynamoDB table. There are other repositories for the ReactJS web front end client and Labeller.

We're using the Git Feature Branch workflow, to contribute code to the code base. To summarize, main should always contain only stable, tested code. To work on a change, first create a feature branch off of main, perform your changes, and when your code is ready, submit a pull request to merge your branch with main and select an appropriate reviewer.
