Consists of server and client modules.

In production mode, they both are compiled and built into a single WAR archive which can be deployed to a web application server or run directly as a standalone Java application.

In development mode, you work with both modules separately. The server is built and run with the help of Maven from the 'server' directory. The client is operated via Yarn from the 'client/src/main/ng' directory.
