# Backend Documentation
## Backend Framework and Language
**Framework**: Node.js with Express.js
**Language**: JavaScript/TypeScript
**Architecture**: RESTful API with layered architecture
Node.js with Express.js is chosen for:
- Excellent performance for real-time applications
- Rich ecosystem of packages for financial data processing
- Good compatibility with React frontend
- Efficient handling of asynchronous operations (important for LLM API calls)
- Seamless integration with Supabase
## API Design
### API Structure
The API follows RESTful principles with the following main resources:
1. **Auth**
- `/api/auth/login` - Social login with Google
- `/api/auth/logout` - User logout
- `/api/auth/refresh` - Token refresh
2. **Users**
- `/api/users/profile` - User profile management
- `/api/users/api-keys` - Secure API key management
- `/api/users/credits` - Credit management
3. **Indicators**
- `/api/indicators` - CRUD operations for indicators
- `/api/indicators/categories` - Get indicators by category
- `/api/indicators/trending` - Get trending indicators
4. **Strategies**
- `/api/strategies` - CRUD operations for strategies
- `/api/strategies/generate` - AI strategy generation
- `/api/strategies/export` - Generate PineScript code
- `/api/strategies/versions` - Strategy version management
5. **Community**
- `/api/community/strategies` - Shared strategies
- `/api/community/users` - User profiles
### API Versioning
The API will be versioned using URL path versioning:
- `/api/v1/...` - Initial version
### Authentication and Authorization
1. **Authentication**
- JWT (JSON Web Tokens) for session management
- Google OAuth for social login
- Refresh token rotation for security
2. **Authorization**
- Role-based access control (Free user vs. Paid user)
- Resource-based permissions
## LLM Integration
### Supported Providers
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- OpenRouter.ai
### Integration Architecture
1. **Provider Adapter Pattern**
- Abstract interface for LLM providers
- Concrete implementations for each provider
- Fallback mechanism if primary provider fails
2. **Prompt Engineering**
- Structured prompts for strategy generation
- Context management for complex strategies
- Response validation and error handling
3. **Security Considerations**
- Encrypted storage of API keys
- No persistence of full strategy responses
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
## Error Handling
1. **Standardized Error Responses**
```json
{
"status": "error",
"code": "ERROR_CODE",
"message": "User-friendly error message",
"details": { /* Additional error details */ }
}
```
2. **Error Categories**
- Authentication errors (401)
- Authorization errors (403)
- Resource not found (404)
- Validation errors (422)
- Server errors (500)
- LLM provider errors (502)
3. **Graceful Degradation**
- Fallback options when services are unavailable
- Detailed user instructions for recovery
## Third-Party Integrations
1. **Payment Processing**
- Stripe integration for subscription management
- PayPal as alternative payment method
- Coupon code functionality
2. **Email Service**
- Transactional emails for account verification
- Subscription notifications
- Strategy export delivery
## Caching Strategy
1. **Redis Cache**
- Cache common indicator configurations
- Store frequently accessed strategy templates
- Temporary storage for generated strategies
2. **Cache Invalidation**
- Time-based expiration for market data
- Event-based invalidation for user-specific data
## Security Measures
1. **Data Protection**
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest
- Secure transmission with TLS
- API key encryption with AES-256
2. **API Security**
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
- CORS configuration for frontend access
- Input validation and sanitization
- Protection against common attacks (XSS, CSRF, injection)
3. **Monitoring and Logging**
- Structured logging for operations
- Error tracking and alerting
- Audit trail for sensitive operations
## Performance Optimization
1. **Query Optimization**
- Efficient database queries
- Pagination for large result sets
- Eager loading of related data
2. **Asynchronous Processing**
- Background jobs for resource-intensive tasks
- Queuing system for LLM requests
3. **Scaling Considerations**
- Horizontal scaling readiness
- Stateless API design
- Connection pooling for database access
