EvOps / Back End

Main repository: https://github.com/evops-sum25/evops

Features

• API methods to create and view users, events, event images, and event tags (groups).
• Combined REST+gRPC web-server so that clients can choose their preferred communication way.
• Auto-generated OpenAPI documentation + Swagger webpage.
• Persistent data storage with PostgreSQL.
• Persistent image storage with MinIO.
• Data validation at the type-system level.
• Basic logging of incoming requests and their responses.
• Configurability with environment variables and a .env file.
• An API extension for clients to ease the interaction with our back end:
  • Validation functions (such as validate_event_title or validate_tag_alias) that reuse the logic from the back-end core.
  • Fully-typed Markdown parser with our own parse settings.
  • Exporting to WASM with Extism and Protobuf types.
  • Generating type-safe FFI bindings with UniFFI.
