Architecture

• Note: This page is subject to change with the introduction of Docker and docker-compose for containerisation.
• Note: A database will be added at a later stage. This will likely cause changes to the architecture.

The backend runs a GraphQL server which serves the client with data over a HTTP connection. During development, a HTTPS connection can be made on port 5001 with a self-signed certificate, and a pure HTTP connection no port 5000.

To communicate with the backend, the client may send GraphQL requests to /graphql.

When running the backend in development mode, you may also access a GraphQL playground on localhost:<port>/ui/playground to play with the available schemas.
