Thoda Core

Thoda Core serves as the backend for an unnamed exclusive social media platform for RVCE students. It is not yet intended for widespread usage.

Thoda Core is written in Swift. It uses Vapor as the server and provides GraphQL APIs. The backend uses a PostgreSQL database for persistent data storage and Redis for caching and token management.

Thoda Core is not a standalone app, but rather the backend for an app that will access Thoda Core through GraphQL. Thoda Core is designed to run seamlessly on Linux and macOS. Windows support may not be guaranteed.
