Para

Project575

A self-hostable, multitenant backend for apps that need JSON APIs, persistence, search, and access controls.

What you can build

  • Build a small web client that submits work-item JSON to Para and presents each app’s records as a searchable queue.
  • Write a webhook receiver that accepts Para’s signed payloads and transforms received object changes into a searchable timeline.
  • Create a multipart form for incoming documents, capture accompanying metadata, and save the resulting file and record using configured storage.
  • Build a lookup that takes product records and a locale, then formats currency and translated labels using Para’s documented internationalization utilities.
  • Build a search page that sends a user’s query to Para and presents relevant object results while honoring the backend’s resource permissions.

Try this prompt

Build a small document-intake web workflow backed by Para. Accept a multipart document and a form containing its title, owner, and category; store the file through the configured Para file-storage implementation and persist its metadata as an object. Add a search view for the resulting records and show clear submission errors. Keep credentials out of browser-visible code, preserve existing records, and document required Para configuration without assuming undocumented endpoints or integrations.

Get started

  1. Choose a runtime approach

    Use the standalone executable JAR or build from source. The README lists JDK 8+ and Maven for compiling Para.

  2. Configure and run the server

    Create an application.conf beside the JAR and follow the documented standalone-server setup. Alternatively, use the documented Docker or Kubernetes deployment guidance.

  3. Create an app and connect a client

    Use Para CLI or the Web Console to create a dedicated app and save its access keys. Choose a documented API client or call the REST API from your application.

License & notes

Apache-2.0Apache-2.0 licensed; commercial use is permitted subject to the license terms, including notices and change markings when distributing modified versions. Self-hosting requires compute and any selected database, search, cache, or storage services. Those may have separate costs. Erudika offers hosting and paid support; model or API costs depend on services you choose. No prices are quoted here.

  • Requires operating and configuring a JVM backend and selected persistence, search, and storage components; hosting and those services may add costs. Apache-2.0 terms apply when distributing the work. No built-in end-user app is implied.
  • JVM-based backend, not a finished application; select and configure suitable storage and deployment for your needs. Paid hosting and support are separate offerings.
