🎓Introduction

Iridium Engine is a Node.JS based request handler designed for optimal performance of our applications.

While available for the public eye to see, this documention will probably not be useful for the average user/developer as it only describes the functionality of the Iridium Engine system and does not provide information on public facing API routes.

This documentation does not provide insight on security as it is served on a need-to-know basis.

Routing system

Iridium creates routes based on their filesystem structure. All routes are gathered from the routes folder upon engine startup. As of version 1.0.8, mid-run refreshing is not possible.

Engine startup time varies between devices. Startup will be faster if the engine has run recently. First-time startup usually take up to 90s, lightweight instances up to 10s. Re-runs vary from 1s to 5s.
