About the Project

The Ecko Backend is a powerful and scalable backend application that serves as the foundation for the Ecko social media platform. It provides a robust set of features and functionalities to handle user authentication, data storage, and API management, supporting both SQL and NoSQL databases. The backend supports seamless database replication and synchronization, ensuring data consistency across multiple nodes. To enhance security, AES encryption is implemented for API keys and other sensitive user data, safeguarding user privacy.

The Ecko Backend incorporates JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication and authorization. It includes a root privileges checker to ensure proper access control and prevent unauthorized actions. The backend operates in both HTTP and HTTPS modes, supporting encrypted communication over secure connections. Request compression minimizes bandwidth usage and improves overall performance.

To handle high traffic and prevent abuse, the backend includes a request limiter that applies rate limiting policies. The project comes with recommended extensions and is Docker dev container-ready, facilitating seamless development and deployment workflows. The extensible architecture enables developers to extend and customize the backend to meet specific requirements.
