The backend of the IFRC GO Make Maps System is built on GraphQL, ApolloServer, Express, and Mongoose. GraphQL is used to define the API schema, which allows for efficient querying of data. ApolloServer is used to implement the API and handle incoming requests. Express is used to create the server and route incoming requests to the appropriate handlers. Mongoose is used to interact with the MongoDB database, which stores all of the application's data.
In the future, the backend will use AzureAD for authentication. This will enable users to securely log in to the system and access resources based on their role and permissions. Overall, this backend architecture allows for efficient data management, flexible data querying, and secure access control for the IFRC GO Make Maps System.
