Technologies Used

The backend service (this repo) is written in Go. It uses ORY Kratos for secure identity management.

PostgreSQL is the currently supported database, though support for other databases can be easily added.

Deployment is done using Docker with Nginx as a reverse proxy and LetsEncrypt for automatic SSL encryption which renews automatically.

The frontend application is written in Svelte and is available in the Refractor-Svelte repo.
