How We built an API first Software in CakePHP 4
summary
API-first shift-planning system built with CakePHP 4 and PHP 8 exposes a machine-readable OpenAPI JSON generated by SwaggerBake, and front-end TypeScript clients are auto-generated (swagger-typescript) so React SPA code matches backend models. Machine learning and optimization live in Python: training jobs take minutes–hours, the fitness solver runs hours (3–24) and both communicate via RabbitMQ (sync requests and async cron workers). Development uses Docker Compose; production targets Kubernetes.
