BEDS — Back End Data System
Developer Wiki
Welcome to the BEDS developer wiki. This is a living document. It grows with the codebase and should be updated whenever a design decision is made, a pattern is established, or a component is implemented.
If you are reading this as a new contributor, start here and read in order. The origin story is not fluff — it explains why BEDS is built the way it is, and understanding the why is the difference between extending the framework correctly and breaking it subtly.
