CodeLink is a backend platform that allows developers to create and share their portfolio-like profile, including their tech stack, skills, and notable projects. The main idea is that anyone can publicly browse developer profiles via a well-designed API, while each dev can securely manage their information through authentication.

⚡ All backend and API development must be done using BunJS, taking advantage of its speed and TypeScript support.

• Centralize developer profiles in a public API.

• Provide developers a space to showcase:

  • Their tech stack.
  • Main skills.
  • Relevant projects.

• Provide a secure authentication system so users can keep their portfolio up-to-date.

• Design a modular and scalable backend, independent of the frontend (React, SolidJS, mobile apps, etc).

The project follows clean architecture principles, separating layers to keep the code maintainable and scalable.

• Runtime / Development: BunJS ⚡
• Backend Framework: HonoJS
• Language: TypeScript
• Database / ORM: TursoDB + Prisma
• Authentication: JWT with refresh token rotation
• Cache / Sessions: Redis
• Validations: Zod
• Dependency Injection: tsyringe
• Logger: pino (configurable)

TursoDB is a distributed database that provides scalability and performance. Prisma is used as the ORM for mapping entities and handling migrations.

• Users: registration, login, basic profile.
• Profiles: tech stack, skills, and projects.
• Auth: login with JWT, refresh tokens, secure sessions.
• Shared: common utilities (logger, Result, error handling, etc).

1. Login → generates accessToken + refreshToken.
2. AccessToken → used in private calls (short-lived).
3. RefreshToken → allows requesting new tokens.
4. Secure Rotation → regenerating tokens creates a new session and revokes the old one.

POST /auth/register   → Create account
POST /auth/login      → Login
POST /auth/refresh    → Rotate tokens
GET  /profiles/:id    → View public profile
GET  /profiles        → List profiles
PUT  /profiles/me     → Update my profile (auth required)

git clone https://github.com/SammyBytes/CodeLink.git
cd CodeLink

bun install

Create a .env file based on .env.example:

# TursoDB
TURSO_DATABASE_URL="your_turso_url"
TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN="your_auth_token"


# Redis
REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
REDIS_USERNAME="default",
REDIS_PORT=6739
REDIS_PASSWORD="your_redis_password"

# JWT
JWT_SECRET="super-secret"

generator client {
  provider        = "prisma-client-js"
  output          = "../src/generated/prisma"
  previewFeatures = ["driverAdapters"]
}

datasource db {
  provider = "sqlite"
  url      = "file:./dev.db"
}

bunx prisma migrate dev

In production, apply SQL scripts directly in TursoDB as per the official documentation.

bun run dev

Server running at http://localhost:3000 🚀.
