+# DCAE Inventory
+
+DCAE Inventory is a web service that provides a REST-API to obtain DCAE service and DCAE service type information.  You can find the design documentation [here](docs/Design.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Build Docker image
+
+The following Maven command will build the Uber JAR, build the Docker image to the local machine registry and then push the same image to the specified remote registry.
+
+```
+mvn clean package docker:build -DpushImageTag
+```
+
+The image will be tagged with the project version found in the `pom.xml`.
+
+### Run via Docker
+
+Execute this to run.
+
+```
+docker run -p 8080:8080 -d -v <some local directory>/config.yml:/opt/config.yml --name dcae-inventory <docker registry>/dcae-inventory:<version>
+```
+
+#### Running local Dockerized Postgres
+
+The following is the docker command used to run a container of a postgres 9.5.2 image from the official repository:
+
+```
+ docker run --name dcae-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test123 -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata -v <local directory>:/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:9.5.2
+ ```
+
+The central postgres instance for 1607 will be using 9.5.2.
+
+## Swagger
+
+To view the running service's swagger specification, execute the following:
+
+```
+curl <hostname>:8080/swagger.json
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+curl <hostname>:8080/swagger.yaml
