Uranus is built on a modern and efficient technology stack to ensure reliability, performance, and extensibility:

Uranus API Server
The backend service, a RESTful API server, is implemented in Go, providing a fast, lightweight, and maintainable interface for data access and manipulation. Go’s strong concurrency model and minimal dependencies make it ideal for scalable web services.

Database
The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database, enhanced with the PostGIS extension to support geographic queries and spatial data types. This enables precise location handling for venues, events, and mapping features.

Pluto Image Server
The Pluto Image Server is a separate service that is fully integrated into Uranus. Its configuration is included in the main Uranus configuration file, and the Pluto service runs within the Uranus environment.
