Background tasks

All accounts are checked for changes in metadata. New data is added to new profile entities and tied to that unique identity. Timelines are captured and stored in buckets named /{account}/{timestamp} and the path is noted on the Profile entity. Base paths are stored in the config.py file and secrets are in the secrets.py file, which is not under source control.
