This bug covers building the backend for the heartbeat project prototype.

I talked with Gregg yesterday. Between that conversation and the planning meeting in June, I think we're going to do the following for a minimal viable prototype:

1. create a new Django app called "heartbeat"
2. create a "Heartbeat" model in that app
3. create a API endpoint to push data for collection
Adding whiteboard data. Taking this now to flesh out the details of the minimal viable prototype.

Talked with Ricky about spam issues.

For the prototype, we'll add throttling by IP address and that's it.

Later (post-prototype), we might look into changing the API endpoint url to something like:

   /api/v1/hbpost/<poll_id>

and polls have to be set up in Input before they can collect data.
This is a P1--need to do asap.
Priority: -- → P1
After talking with Ricky and Mike, I made some changes to the plan.

1. we're going to go with HTTP POST rather than HTTP GET because it's a lot safer and prevents some issues
2. the api endpoint will be /api/v1/hb/
3. polls will need to be registered with Input before Input will collect heartbeat data for that poll

Given all that, I just landed the first implementation including docs:

https://github.com/mozilla/fjord/commit/f69b58b

I'll push it to prod in a bit.
Tested it on stage and it works super. "test-poll" is the poll slug I created.

Pushed it to production. Marking this as FIXED.

If there are changes we need to make, we can put them in new bugs.
