Backend App Server Epic

[Evanito]

Overview

Backend App Server produces an API endpoint for the frontend to make calls. Valid calls are forwarded to the Backend Controller to query the databases.

Abstract

Create interface for the Frontend to make calls. Some calls are user specific, and thus proper Auth will need to be passed with all calls, while validating the user for privileged calls. After receiving a valid call, forward it to the Backend Controller.

Endpoints offered:

• /status
• /user/<id>
• /user/<id>/posts
• /image/<id> !!! TODO COMPLETE ENDPOINT LIST !!!
