Architecture Overview

Our implementation builds upon the standard Frappe framework and ERPNext application.

Core Stack​

  1. Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (using jQuery and Vue.js for specific components as standard in Frappe).
  2. Backend: Python, utilizing the Frappe Web Framework.
  3. Database: MariaDB / PostgreSQL.
  4. Cache/Queue: Redis (used for caching, background jobs, and socketio).
  5. Web Server: Nginx as a reverse proxy, Gunicorn as the WSGI HTTP Server.

Frappe Framework Architecture​

Frappe uses a metadata-driven architecture where most of the application logic and UI are generated dynamically based on JSON definitions known as "DocTypes".

DocTypes​

DocTypes are the fundamental building blocks of Frappe applications. They define:

  • Database schema (tables and columns).
  • Form layouts.
  • Validation rules.
  • Permissions.
