Product: EDI platform

The Stedi [bootstrap repository](https://github.com/Stedi-Demos/bootstrap-archived#readme) lets you quickly deploy a reference implementation that sends and receives EDI documents, connecting Stedi products in an end-to-end flow.

The bootstrap implementation now supports polling remote FTP / SFTP servers for new files. When the poller finds files, it copies them to a Stedi bucket and optionally deletes those files from the remote server. You can configure the bootstrap module to process these files automatically. Visit the [bootstrap external poller README](https://github.com/Stedi-Demos/bootstrap-archived/blob/main/src/functions/ftp/external-poller/README.md) for more details.
