Architecture Principles

Design Philosophy

EduSync follows these core architectural principles:

• Microservices - Each feature domain is a separate service
• Single Responsibility - Services own their data and logic
• API Gateway Pattern - Centralized entry point for all requests
• JWT-based Auth - Stateless authentication across services
• Event-driven - Real-time updates via Socket.io
