+# Event processor
+
+This project creates a web server, listening on port 9090, that will capture
+all requests and send the path, method, headers and body in JSON format
+asynchronously to a program called "event-processor", which can then do
+whatever it wants with it.
+
+# Building
+
+Install zig 0.7.1 from https://ziglang.org/download/. Once downloaded, you
+can unpackage the download and get the main executable in your path (zig
+figures out the other files it needs based on where the main executable lies).
+
+You can either run "make" using the Makefile provided, or run `zig build`.
+Doing the latter will land the binary in ./zig-cache/bin. The makefile uses
+-Drelease-safe=true to provide a small, statically-linked reproducible binary,
+which is then stripped and copied to "event-processor-backend" in the
+current directory.
