 # Learning about Drasi
-This repo contains code for sample applications that use Drasi as an end-to-end solution for change detection and real-time reactions. The applications will help you understand how to implement and deploy Drasi for different scenarios. Each app folder  within this repo has a README.md which details what the scenario for the app, code for the apps, requisite test data, and how to run the samples.
