Until recently, there are only basic tests for helper functions in the query folder.

Now, the newly created router folder has its own unittests.

These tests are meant to be more robust and should test in a more "practical" setting, by running the actual API server and verifying responses.

There's only one test for now, adding more tests will definitely be helpful in catching errors, bugs, breaking changes, etc.

Setup a basic docker stack to build and containerize Nikel images. Would make it much safer and easier to deploy on a number of platforms.

Nikel's data is served from memory, a persistent database might be better (memory usage wise) however a remote MongoDB instance might incur too much latency and might be overkill.

It might be good to migrate the in-mem store to an embedded persistent NoSQL database like tiedot. I suspect it'll be noticeably slower since there isn't a good way to index some search operations.

I was wondering if it's possible to have an Acorn API to access personal student course information by logging in through their UTORID.
