On the frontend, users can construct a topology by specifying a datacenter's rooms, racks and machines, and create experiments to see how a workload trace runs on that topology. The frontend communicates with the web server over SocketIO, through a custom REST request/response layer. For example, the frontend might make a `GET` request to `/api/v1/users/{userId}`, but this request is completed via SocketIO, not plain HTTP requests.
