Seamlessly Interconnected Middleware for Enterprise-Level Solutions The request lifecycle is the sequence of steps that happen from the moment a user makes an HTTP request until the server sends back a response. The graph below shows how the request is handled by Dotkernel Light (GitHub, documentation), one of the applications in the Dotkernel Headless Platform suite.

What TOTP Does A Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) is a security algorithm used as part of two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect against account attacks. The mechanism is integrated into dot-totp to enhance security by requiring both a password and an additional one-time code.

Why We Switched to the Offline-Focused Bruno Every API developer knows that to build an API properly you need a reliable client for testing and interacting with the API. Ideally this tool should be free, it should store endpoint collections and share them easily with your team, and it should be fast and secure.

The Dotkernel Headless Platform has seen new releases for both API and Admin. The Admin codebase has received an overall facelift, as well as updates to retain compatibility with API v7.

In programming and software architecture, an Evolution Pattern is a reusable, high-level strategy for modifying or evolving existing software systems over time. An evolution pattern tries to keep software relevant for old and new users by whatever means are available, as new needs arise.

Software security should always be in the back of your mind as a developer. It may seem fine at first to deliver a feature sooner, only to find later on that you left a backdoor into your crisp new update.

The dotkernel/dot-maker library, also named DotMaker, is designed to programmatically generate project files and directories that match the Dotkernel file structure inspired by Mezzio. Handling the file creation and configuration task manually invites mistakes that nobody has time for.

Dotkernel Queue is a component based on Symfony Messenger that is used to queue asynchronous tasks. netglue/laminas-messenger is an adapter that integrates Symfony Messenger with the Laminas Service Manager container for Mezzio/Laminas applications.

In PHP, the ConfigProvider is a class that is part of an application's bootstrap process. It's a class or callable that returns configuration data telling the platform which middleware should run, in what order, and sometimes under what conditions.

The Dotkernel Headless Platform is built with an architecture designed to be easy to maintain and expand indefinitely. Its core components are Dotkernel API and Dotkernel Queue, but the Dotkernel application suite also offers a fully separate, complementary Admin application designed to pair seamlessly with Dotkernel API.
