RepoFlow Architecture​

RepoFlow is designed to efficiently manage packages using a robust architecture composed of several key components. This section provides an overview of how these components interact.

Components​

  • Client: The front-end interface where users interact with RepoFlow.
  • Server: The back-end server handling client requests and managing data.
  • PostgreSQL: Used as the database for storing metadata and user information. Requires version 12 or higher.
  • S3: Object storage for storing package files.
  • Redis: Caching frequently accessed data to enhance performance (optional but recommended).
  • Elasticsearch / OpenSearch: Indexing and searching packages (optional but recommended).
  • Hasura: Adding GraphQL to the PostgreSQL database. Requires version 2.37.0 or higher.
