System Design Documentation

EMPACT's system design is a crucial aspect of our project. We've created detailed documentation to help developers understand the architecture and contribute effectively:

Note: This wiki serves as both public-facing documentation and a collaborative space for ongoing system design. The content here represents our current thinking and plans, which may evolve as the project progresses. We encourage contributors to engage with these documents, suggest improvements, and help shape the future of EMPACT.

Key areas of our system design:

• System Architecture Overview
• Database Schema
• Frontend Architecture
• Roles and User Flows
• Security and Authentication
• Deployment Strategies

For a complete list of our technical documentation, visit the Developer Documentation page.

We welcome discussions and suggestions on all aspects of the system design. Please use the Discussions forum to share your thoughts or propose changes.
