# Technical Decisions
|
|

|
## 2026-04-25: v0 Tech Stack & Architecture
|
|
|
|
**Context**: Project skeleton was created with only cobra CLI. We needed a concrete tech stack and package layout to begin implementation.
|
|
|
|
**Decisions**:
|
|
|
|
| Area | Choice | Rationale |
|
|
|------|--------|-----------|
|
|
| HTTP framework | Gin | Most widely adopted Go web framework, mature middleware ecosystem |
|
|
| ORM | GORM | SQLite-first dev, PostgreSQL option later; GORM abstracts dialect differences |
|
|
| Config management | Viper | YAML + env vars + CLI flags three-way merge, built for cobra integration |
|
|
| Database | SQLite (v0) → PostgreSQL (future) | SQLite zero setup for dev; repo interface isolates the switch |
|
|
| File storage | Local disk (v0) → S3 (future) | Backend interface (`internal/storage`) hides implementation |
|
|
| File identity | UUID | Distributed-friendly, no coordination needed; cost is negligible for file metadata |
|
|
| Token strategy | JWT, refresh token stored in DB | Enables server-side revocation (admin kick, logout-all-devices) |
|
|
| Pagination | OFFSET/LIMIT | Simple, sufficient for v0; migrate to cursor-based if needed |
|
|
| API response format | `{code, message, data}` | Consistent envelope across all endpoints |
|
|
|
|
**Architecture**: Four-layer model — Handler (Gin) → Service (business logic) → Repository (GORM data access) + Storage (file I/O). Each layer depends only on interfaces of the layer below.
|
|
|
|
**Consequences**:
|
|
- Handler layer has no business logic; Service layer is reusable across REST API, WebDAV, and future Nextcloud API.
|
|
- Repository interfaces keep DB swappable; future PostgreSQL implementation only needs a new package.
|
|
- Refresh token in DB adds a `sessions` table and a `repository.SessionRepository` interface.
|
|
- UUID dependency: `github.com/google/uuid` to be added.
|
|
- Gin middleware chain: requestid → logger → cors → auth (route-group-scoped).
