🏗️ Architecture

🚦 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

• npm 8+

Local Development

1. Clone and install dependencies:

2. Start development servers:

This starts both the backend (port 3001) and frontend (port 5173) in development mode.

3. Access the application:

• Dashboard: http://localhost:5173

• API: http://localhost:3001

• Health Check: http://localhost:3001/api/health

Production Build

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the backend directory:

Security Configuration

The server includes comprehensive security measures:

• File Upload Limits: 50MB max file size, ZIP files only

• Rate Limiting: 5 uploads per 15 minutes, 100 API calls per 15 minutes

• ZIP Security: Zip bomb protection, path traversal prevention, file type validation

• Input Validation: Joi-based validation for all endpoints

• CORS: Configurable cross-origin resource sharing

• Helmet: Security headers and CSP
