⚙ Full Stack
FastAPI (Python) backend with a Vue 3 frontend, SQLite by default with optional Postgres, and background tasks for recipe scraping/image processing.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Fine for single-household or small-team use out of the box; scaling to many concurrent users requires switching to Postgres and moving image storage off the local filesystem, which the app supports but doesn't default to.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single app pod with a mounted volume for the SQLite DB and recipe images works for most households; for multi-user scale, point DATABASE_URL at a postgres pod (postgres.pod:5432). Mirror the official image via mirror.gcr.io.
