Structure
This is a pnpm/uv monorepo:
| Path | What | Stack |
|---|
apps/binx-api | The backend | FastAPI, SQLAlchemy (async), Alembic, PostgreSQL — uv |
apps/binx-web | The staff app, client portal, and marketing site | Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19 |
apps/binx-mobile | Mobile app | Expo / React Native — early scaffold |
infra/ | Production AWS infrastructure | AWS CDK (TypeScript) |
Each app has its own README with a local-dev quickstart. For the full
picture — architecture, running everything together, testing, git workflow,
CI/CD, and how production deploys work — see DEVELOPER.md.
Project history lives in CHANGELOG.md.
Quickstart
# API (needs a local Postgres — see apps/binx-api/README.md)
cd apps/binx-api && uv sync --all-groups && uv run alembic upgrade head && uv run binx-api
# Web (in another terminal)
cd apps/binx-web && pnpm install && pnpm dev
apps/binx-web expects the API at http://localhost:8000 by default (see
apps/binx-web/.env.example). Details, env vars, and running the full test
suites are in DEVELOPER.md.
