Introduction

Introduction to the backend

The backend is essentially just an account server. There is not much more to it.

Metrics

The backend exposes prometheus metrics, it can be accessed on /metrics.

Security

Optionally, there are a few security settings:

• Recaptcha support, the server can verify Recaptcha v3 tokens on register and login.
• Ratelimits, Some expensive endpoints have ratelimits, but only when enabled. This requires an additional redis connection.

Migrations

To run migrations, You can use the command pnpm migration:up inside the docker container.

Alternatively, you can enabled postgres.migrateOnBoot and it will be automatically migrated on boot.
