Paper2Code is a comprehensive production-ready system that transforms scientific papers into functional code repositories through an intelligent three-stage pipeline: planning, analysis, and code generation. Built with modern web technologies and designed for scalability, security, and maintainability.
- Three-Stage Processing Pipeline: Intelligent paper processing through planning → analysis → code generation
- Multi-Format Support: PDF, LaTeX, and plain text paper processing
- Real-Time Progress Tracking: Live WebSocket updates for job status
- Intelligent Code Generation: LLM-powered code repository creation with proper structure
- Cost Tracking: Built-in token usage monitoring and cost optimization
- Microservices Architecture: Scalable FastAPI backend with async processing
- Modern Frontend: React + TypeScript with Redux Toolkit for state management
- Containerized Deployment: Docker and Kubernetes support with production-ready configurations
- Comprehensive Testing: Unit, integration, and E2E tests with high coverage
- Security First: JWT authentication, RBAC authorization, and audit logging
- High Availability: Load balancing, auto-scaling, and fault tolerance
- Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and centralized logging
- CI/CD Integration: Automated testing, building, and deployment pipelines
- Database Management: PostgreSQL with migrations, backups, and optimization
- File Storage: MinIO S3-compatible object storage with redundancy
