@Steve-Mcl, could you please review this PR as well? We're aiming to get it merged today.

A few minor issues - but one potential oversight is there is a flow for the database creation, but there is no final demo flow that includes the http nodes, pdf node, iframe node etc.

However i realise that may well be deliberate.
