## Getting started

This app is based on the G DATA Verdict as a Service (VaaS) API. To get started with the app, you must either register via our [registration page](https://vaas.gdata.de/login) or host the backend yourself. If you have any questions about self-hosting the backend, please contact us by email or take a look at [this](https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/vaas-helm) repository containing the Helm charts.
