This doc is a WIP and will be expanded shortly.
In the meantime, please consider looking at the extensive docs in the Fasten Docs Repository
Tech Stack
Fasten is made up of a handful of different components. Here's a summary of the technologies & languages used in Fasten:
Frontend
- NodeJS
v18.9.0
- Yarn
1.22.19
- Angular
v14.1.3
Backend
- Go
v1.18.3
Misc
- Docker
v20.10.17
Setup
If you're on a Mac, you can run the following commands to install the necessary software to get setup:
brew install node
npm install -g @angular/cli@14.1.3
npm install -g yarn
brew install go
brew install docker
Running Tests
Before making changes to Fasten, you'll want to run the test suites to ensure that your environment is setup correctly:
make test
# if you only want to run the frontend tests (Angular), you can run:
make test-frontend
# alternatively, if you only care about backend (Go) tests, you can run:
make test-backend
Start Development Environment
To run Fasten from source, you'll need to create 2 separate processes:
- Angular Frontend
- Go Backend
First we'll create a development config file (config.dev.yaml
)
version: 1
web:
listen:
port: 9090
host: 0.0.0.0
basepath: ''
src:
frontend:
path: ./dist
database:
location: 'fasten.db'
cache:
location: ''
log:
file: '' #absolute or relative paths allowed, eg. web.log
level: INFO
Next we'll start the processes described above:
# In terminal #1, run the following
make build-frontend-[sandbox|prod]
# eg. make build-frontend-sandbox
# In terminal #2, run the following
make serve-backend
Note: Fasten can run in 2 modes: sandbox or production (prod). In sandbox mode, it can only communicate with test servers (full of synthetic health data).
Now you can open a browser to http://localhost:9090
to see the Fasten UI.

Source Code Folder Structure
The Fasten source code is organized into a handful of important folders, which we'll describe below:

Backend
The backend is incredibly simple (by design). The hope is to remove it completely if possible, allowing Fasten to be served by a CDN or minimal Nginx deployment.
├── backend
│ ├── cmd
│ └── pkg
│ ├── config
│ ├── database # contains CouchDB client, allowing creation of new Users (and associated databases)
│ ├── errors
│ ├── models
│ └── web
│ ├── handler # contains code for API endpoints
│ │ ├── auth.go # authentication endpoints (create new user)
│ │ ├── cors_proxy.go # CORS proxy/relay for communicating with healthcare providers who do not support CORS
│ │ ├── couchdb_proxy.go # reverse proxy for CouchDB api, allowing for database API to be exposed (with limitations)
│ │ └── metadata.go # API endpoint returning metadata for healthcare providers
