Application Notes

Services

Banchan uses the following third-party services as part of its development and deployment:

GitHub - Code hosting, project management
Fly.io - Platform + database hosting and clustering (requires invite by email for access)
Amazon S3 - File/image uploads storage
Plausible - Web analytics
Netlify - Landing page hosting, beta signup email form collection
Stripe - Stripe Connect Express with Stripe Tax for payment processing and tax management
Sendgrid - Sending emails (both transactional and marketing)
Sentry.io - Logging and error logging (requires invite by email for access)
Google - OAuth login
Discord - OAuth login
Oban Web - Better observability into Oban queues.
Freshdesk - Support tickets

Stuff we don't use yet, but might be nice to afford in the future:

Ticketing system - Debating replacing Freshdesk, but there are other things more pressing right now.

Of note:

4000000000000077: Instantly succeeds a payment, bypassing the pending period (so the amount can be immediately paid out)
4000000000000002: Card declined
4242424242424242: US-based transaction that immediately succeeds but is subject to the payout waiting period (7 days for an account's first payout, even in test mode)

There's a number of env vars you need to get set up to get up and running, depending on your needs/environment. See Environment Variables.

Phoenix templates are not in use due to incompatibilities with SurfaceUI.
router.ex to view all URLs and their routes
priv/repo/migrations/ and lib/banchan/ for database schema and migrations
lib/banchan/uploads/uploads.ex contains the upload configuration except for max file size, which is set in config/config.exs
lib/banchan/workers/thumbnailer.ex is where ImageMagick handles the images, which includes a memory usage limit to 128mb and two jobs at a time.
- This limit is relevant when testing on non-local dev (dev.banchan.art) as the memory limit is low, which can cause a OOM killed event on that dev server.

Automatically installed as part of the initial install of the repo, here are a few dependencies to be aware of that the project is built on:
