vulk-api-engine

VULK's auto-generated backend service that wraps every project with a Postgres-backed REST API, JWT auth, and CRUD endpoints — so generated apps have a real backend without writing one.

vulk-api-engine

vulk-api-engine is the managed backend service for VULK applications whose generation plan includes persistence. The agent provides the application's schema and access policies, and the engine exposes project-scoped REST endpoints under /api/{projectId}/{entity}, with authentication endpoints under /api/{projectId}/auth. Each provisioned project has a separate database on a shared PostgreSQL service hosted on Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany. This is separate from VULK's main AWS RDS database in Frankfurt; it is not a dedicated database server per project.

When asking for an application with saved data or accounts, describe the records it needs and who should be able to read or change them. Authentication and table-access policies determine access to the application's data. An external backend or authentication integration has its own configuration and processing scope.
