Armada Backend

Armada's backend server is built with Express and utilizes Prisma and the Amazon Web Services' (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) to communicate with all the pieces of Armada's architecture, including the Relational Database Service (RDS), the Application Load Balancer (ALB), the Elastic Container Service (ECS), and more!
