Summary

Explains how Dotkernel API fits alongside Dotkernel Admin and Dotkernel Queue, and how to start with API alone and add the other components later.

Details

Dotkernel API can be installed independently or together with other applications in the Dotkernel suite, based on your business requirements. Out of the box, API, Admin, and Queue are separate codebases designed to complement each other — see the Architecture Overview for how they fit together.

A safe bet is to start with Dotkernel API and integrate it into your existing platform. The API can manage the access permissions to keep your data secure:

  • Admin-level users create and edit the data for your existing backend.
  • Regular users read the data for your frontend.

Later on you can add:

  • Dotkernel Admin for its simple table-based approach, its reports and graphs.
  • Dotkernel Queue for its asynchronous task processing.

Q: Should I start with Dotkernel API or Admin?

A: Starting with Dotkernel API is a safe bet since it can manage access permissions to keep your data secure.

Q: How does Dotkernel API separate admin and regular users?

A: Admin-level users create and edit the data, while regular users read the data for your frontend.

Q: What can I add to Dotkernel API later?

A: Dotkernel Admin for its table-based management, reports and graphs, and Dotkernel Queue for asynchronous task processing.
