AdonisJs API Service for Stream/Event Processing

Overview

An API server built on the AdonisJs framework (API-only blueprint), pre-configured with authentication, CORS, the Lucid ORM, and migration/seed tooling, serving as a backend worker for the platform’s stream/event handling.

Why It Exists

The platform needed a structured, convention-driven Node.js API backend to expose authenticated endpoints and persist data, providing a stable service layer alongside the conversational bot.

What We Built

• An AdonisJs 4 API application (server.js, ace CLI) with the standard app, config, database, and start structure.
• JWT-based authentication via @adonisjs/auth and request handling through bodyparser and CORS middleware.
• Data access through @adonisjs/lucid (ORM) with migrations and seeds for schema management.
• HTTP integration via axios and client introspection via ua-parser-js.

Technologies & Approach

AdonisJs provides an opinionated MVC/REST structure on Node.js; Lucid handles relational persistence with migrations. The API-only configuration keeps the surface focused on JSON endpoints and authentication.

Outcome / Impact

Provided a maintainable, convention-based API backbone for the platform’s services, demonstrating structured backend engineering with authentication and ORM-managed data.

Capabilities Demonstrated

• Scaffolding REST APIs with a convention-driven Node.js framework
• JWT authentication and CORS-secured endpoints
• ORM-backed persistence with migrations and seeds
• Service-oriented backend supporting a wider platform
