Launch Template

Launch Template is a front-end template
for websites and web applications served
using the open source DropServe framework

Launch Template is an example of a component of a Distributed Web Architecture. The front-end is driven by javascript that communicates with a backend API serve for dynamic content. This particular website communicates with a Web API Bridge that translates REST-style API calls to MySQL Stored Procedures and returns the results set as JSON. The MySQL database is initialised using the Base Schema, which provides a foundational database schema that a complete web application can be built upon.

Potential alternatives are an API hosted by a traditional API server implementation, or implemented using a service such as Azure cloud functions.
