ILLA Builder

A low-code internal-tools builder (a Retool alternative) for assembling admin panels and dashboards from drag-and-drop components wired to databases and APIs. Its standout trait is a Go backend paired with a React drag-and-drop builder for reasonably fast execution.

βš™ Full Stack

Go microservices (builder-backend, drive service, etc.) plus a React/TypeScript builder frontend, backed by PostgreSQL and Redis for app state and caching.

πŸ“ˆ Scaling Analysis

Backend services are largely stateless and can scale horizontally, with Postgres/Redis as the shared state layer; the drag-and-drop builder itself is a single-user editing session, so the harder scaling problem is many concurrent app *runtimes* rather than the builder UI itself.

πŸš€ Running on Nexlayer

Multi-pod deploy on Nexlayer (builder-backend, drive, postgres, redis pods) using <podName>.pod:<port> for inter-service calls; config-heavy setup with several env vars for service discovery is the main gotcha, similar in spirit to Huly's multi-service wiring.
