ADAM Platform

ADAM is the platform you're looking at right now — an open development studio site, built end to end and running entirely on a free-tier, edge-first stack.

Architecture

API-first by design. A single Cloudflare Workers backend owns all logic; every client — the web app and the adam CLI — is a thin shell over the same HTTP API.

• Backend — Cloudflare Workers + Hono (TypeScript), D1 (SQLite) as the database, KV for sessions and caching, native rate limiting, and Analytics Engine for visit metrics
• Web — Astro 5, server-rendered on Cloudflare Pages, 8-language i18n
• CLI — adam, a token-authenticated admin tool — the primary control surface (web admin is secondary)

Engineering highlights

• CLI-first operations. Every resource is fully manageable from the command line, with strict create↔delete symmetry. Project bodies are README.md files — local images auto-upload to a CDN and get rewritten on publish.
• One markdown pipeline. Community posts, bug notes, and project bodies share a single renderer — stored as source, rendered on read.
• Cascade-correct data model. Soft deletes throughout; deleting a project cascades its changelog, versions, and bug reports.

Security

• Passwords hashed with PBKDF2 (Web Crypto); CLI tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes, shown once at issue
• Token auth re-loads the issuer on every request — demote the admin and the token dies instantly
• Layered bot defense (Turnstile · honeypot · UA filtering · native rate limiting) and login-anomaly detection (IP / country / failed-burst)

The stack, in full

Cloudflare Workers · D1 · KV · Pages · Astro · Hono · ImageKit · Resend · Turnstile — all within free-tier limits.
