+# Developers information
+
+## Current deployed instance
+
+Uses Girder as a backend for storing dandisets on S3 in `s3://dandiarchive` with Girder keystore under `girder-assetstore/`
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/dandiarchive - Web UI
+
+- https://gui.dandiarchive.org/ is the deployed web UI instance 
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/dandi-cli/ - CLI/Python client
+
+To be installed via `pip` or `conda` to interact with the archive.
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/redirector - redirector
+
+which provides redirects from https://dandiarchive.org/
+
+
+## In development
+
+It will use dandi-api service/backend which would provide specialized to dandiarchive functionality to 
+upload/download dandisets and public releases.  All data ATM goes into a private bucket but later will migrate to 
+use `s3://dandiarchive`
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/dandiarchive - Web UI
+
+The same repository used as for the deployed instance but in a different "setup" so it uses dandi-api
+
+- https://gui-beta-dandiarchive-org.netlify.app/ is the deployed Web UI instance working against dandi-api 
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/dandi-api/ - DANDI API service/backend
+
+is DJANGO-based implementation of the DANDI API service to which both web UI 
+(https://github.com/dandi/dandiarchive)
+
+- https://api.dandiarchive.org/swagger/ provides swagger interface to see and play around with the API server
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/dandi-cli/ - CLI/Python client
+
+The same client, but with `DANDI_DEVEL=1` env variable would enable command line options to interact with 
+`dandi-api` instead of a deployed instance.
+
+### https://github.com/dandi/schema - exported DANDI schema
+
+Contains json schemas for DANDI metata schema defined and exported by/from https://github.com/dandi/dandi-cli/ where 
+it resides in https://github.com/dandi/dandi-cli/blob/master/dandi/models.py and https://github.com/dandi/dandi-cli/blob/master/dandi/model_types.py
+
+
+### http://github.com/dandi/dandi-api-datasets - CI dataset for metadata conversion & validation
+
+Automatically updated (on drogon) given the current state of dandisets in the archive and dandi-cli (schema etc)
