Outline
A polished team wiki/knowledge-base app with real-time collaborative editing. Standout trait is a Notion-quality editor experience, offset by a hard requirement on an external OIDC/SSO provider for auth.

⚙ Full Stack
Node.js/Koa backend with a React frontend, Postgres for document storage, Redis for websocket/session state, and S3-compatible storage for file attachments; auth delegates entirely to an external OIDC provider.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The app tier and Postgres/Redis dependencies scale horizontally fine, but the mandatory external OIDC coupling means Outline cannot be stood up standalone — its real-world scalability is gated by whatever identity provider it's wired to, not by Outline's own architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Needs outline, postgres (postgres.pod:5432), redis (redis.pod:6379), and an S3-compatible storage pod (e.g. minio.pod:9000); OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET must point at a working SSO provider before the app will even boot, which is the main deploy friction point.
