###Cloud Formation

If you are running on amazon infrastructure use this Cloud Formation Template to bring up a single instance of any size. All the environment variables required for Seyren are specified as properties to the cloud formation template and a fully configured Seyren instance should come up with no other intervention.

##Development

To run the acceptance tests with Maven:

mvn clean verify

To fire-up the app using Maven and wait (meaning you can run the tests separately from your IDE):

mvn clean verify -Dwait

You should then be able to browse to http://localhost:8080/seyren and have a play.
