PDeck Developer Overview

Welcome to the PDeck developer documentation. This guide is designed to provide you with the necessary information to start building the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for PDeck, our AI-powered task management platform.

System Architecture

The following diagram illustrates the high-level architecture of PDeck:

Key Components

Front-End Module: Handles user interactions and displays.
API Layer: Manages communication between front-end and back-end.
Back-End Module: Core logic and data processing.
External Integrations: Connects with third-party services.
Asynchronous Processing: Handles background tasks and real-time updates.
Database and Cache: Stores and retrieves data efficiently.

Data Flow

The simplified data flow in PDeck is as follows:
