API Container Architecture

The API Interface container contains all the components that allow an end user to access ORCA data including but not limited to recovery status information and ORCA catalog information. The architecture diagram below shows how generally, an operator goes through the Cumulus Dashboard to access the information. The dashboard makes API calls through an AWS API gateway which routes the call to the proper lambda to make the request. Currently, the lambdas have read only access to the ORCA tables that contain the information needed by the end user.
