How it is built

Four surfaces, the same in every product

Every Akadesk product ships the same set of applications under apps/, so a path means the same thing whichever product you are looking at.

  • tenant-webEach institution's public site and student sign-in
  • webappCourseware authoring, study, assignments and results
  • admin-webPlatform operator console across all institutions
Where it runs

Its own host, its own database

  • Productiontertiaryonline.akadesk.com
  • Developmentlocalhost:3260 — its own port. There is no routing layer, so the production hostname resolves to nothing locally
  • Databaseakadesk_tertiaryonline — its own Postgres database, shared with no other product
  • StackGo API + React/Vite app + Next.js marketing
