Backend service for CodeLighthouse – a full-stack coding assessment and learning platform designed to offer real-time feedback, user authentication, and collaborative features. The backend handles core business logic, data persistence, and API delivery for the CodeLighthouse system.
The CodeLighthouse-Back service is the server-side component powering:
- User registration, authentication, and session management
- RESTful API endpoints for problem sets, coding submissions, and results
- Database integration for users, submissions, analytics, and achievements
This service is designed to work in tandem with the CodeLighthouse-Front UI.
Some API keys or tokens may appear to be exposed in commit history or .env examples. These keys were used strictly for testing and demonstration purposes and were immediately deactivated.
No active credentials are exposed in the current version.
