A professional README is the storefront of your project. It’s what makes a recruiter or a potential investor say, "This developer knows what they’re doing."
Here is a comprehensive, high-quality README.md for SyncraFlow, written in English as requested.
SyncraFlow is a high-performance, event-driven automation backend designed to orchestrate data between different APIs. It allows users to create custom workflows triggered by Webhooks, process data asynchronously, and execute multi-step actions with reliability and speed.
- Event-Driven Architecture: Non-blocking request handling using FastAPI and Celery.
- Dynamic Webhooks: Unique endpoint generation for every user workflow.
- Asynchronous Task Processing: Offloads heavy data processing to background workers via Redis.
- Native PostgreSQL Support: Optimized for Supabase with raw SQL queries for maximum performance.
- JWT Authentication: Secure user management and scoped access to workflows.
- Detailed Execution Logs: Full traceability for every event processed by the engine.
- AI-Ready: Modular architecture designed to integrate LLM (OpenAI/Anthropic) steps seamlessly in the future.
- Core: Python 3.12+
- Web Framework: FastAPI
- Task Queue: Celery
- Message Broker & Cache: Redis
- Database: PostgreSQL (Supabase)
- Authentication: JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
- Containerization: Docker & Docker Compose
- Ingestion Layer: FastAPI receives incoming webhooks and validates the payload.
- Messaging Layer: The payload is pushed to a Redis queue.
- Processing Layer: Celery Workers fetch the workflow configuration from Supabase and execute the defined steps (e.g., Data transformation, HTTP requests).
- Logging Layer: Every success or failure is logged back to PostgreSQL for real-time monitoring.
- Docker & Docker Compose
- A Supabase account (PostgreSQL)
- Python 3.12+
Create a .env file in the root directory:
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:[PASSWORD]@[HOST]:5432/postgres
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
SECRET_KEY=your_super_secret_jwt_key
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/syncraflow.git
cd syncraflow
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start Redis and Postgres (if using local Docker)
docker-compose up -d
# Start the FastAPI server
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
# Start the Celery Worker (in a new terminal)
celery -A app.worker worker --loglevel=info
