The deployed version of this API is based on the`eb` branch. The version that was deployed before that is in the`eb_previous` branch. The`master` branch is used as development as that's where most of the pull requests will come into anyways.

This API is deployed on AWS using elastic beanstalk due to large number of people who use the service. However, if you're planning on using it just yourself, it is small enough to be stood up on a single micro EC2 or any other small size cloud compute machine.
