Bridg - Serverless create-react-app + Netlify

This repo is an example of Bridg being used in a serverless capacity, with a static client via create-react-app, and a single Netlify cloud function for handling requests from Bridg.

Note: This could be used with any cloud function provider, it doesn't necessarily need to be Netlify.

We just need a single function that can handle Bridg requests and to communicate with our database.
