​
Architecture overview

Dyeink is built on a modern, scalable architecture:

​
Frontend

  • Framework: React 18 with Vite for lightning-fast builds
  • Language: TypeScript for type safety
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS for responsive design
  • State: Zustand for lightweight global state management
  • Routing: React Router for client-side navigation
  • Auth: Auth0 SPA SDK with local storage persistence

​
Backend

  • API: Fastify - one of the fastest Node.js web frameworks
  • Database: MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
  • Authentication: Auth0 with JWT verification
  • Storage: Cloudflare R2 for image hosting
  • Deployment: Cloudflare Workers for edge computing
Dyeink can be deployed to Cloudflare Workers for global edge performance, or to traditional Node.js hosting platforms like Railway or Render.

​
Data flow

  1. Authentication: Users authenticate via Auth0, receiving a JWT token
  2. API requests: Frontend makes authenticated requests to the Fastify backend
  3. Data storage: Posts and settings are stored in MongoDB
  4. Media uploads: Images are uploaded to Cloudflare R2 storage
  5. Domain routing: Custom domains are managed via Vercel DNS

​
Security

Dyeink implements multiple layers of security:
  • Auth0 authentication - Industry-standard OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
  • JWT verification - All API requests are verified using JWKS
  • Secure token storage - Tokens stored in browser’s local storage with refresh token rotation
  • Content sanitization - User-generated content is sanitized using DOMPurify
  • HTTPS everywhere - All traffic encrypted in transit
Never commit environment files (.env) to version control. These contain sensitive API keys and secrets.

​
Performance

Speed is a core principle of Dyeink:
  • Sub-second page loads - Vite’s optimized bundling and code splitting
  • Lazy loading - Components and images load on demand
  • Image optimization - Automatic compression before upload
  • Edge deployment - Optional Cloudflare Workers deployment for global performance
  • Efficient state - Zustand provides minimal re-renders
