RackEmApp DocumentationMay has been an interesting month at RackEmApp. It seems more often than not that what I plan to do ends up taking a few twists and turns along the way… but all for the right reasons!

Modern cloud systems rely on them, and now we have one. Sort of. The foundations of one anyway! There are multiple reasons why in the future you might want to extract data from RackEmApp into a 3rd party system. APIs allow this to happen.
