⚡ High-Performance Go API Service (v2.3.0+)

GeniXCMS includes an optional high-performance Go microservice that significantly boosts read operations for API and AJAX requests. The Go service shares the same database as your PHP installation and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3.

Key Benefits:

• Lightning-Fast Search: Dedicated search engine for rapid text-matching across posts.
• Universal Dynamic Resources: Smart handler serving data from any database table automatically.
• Hybrid Backend: Supports both RESTful API and core AJAX read operations.
• Smart Switching: Toggle Go service for Posts, Categories, and dashboard listings.
• Automatic Fallback: Seamlessly reverts to PHP if the Go service is unreachable.

Quick Setup:

1. Install Go (≥1.22): go.dev/dl
2. Configure environment: Copy go-service/.env.example to go-service/.env and edit with your DB credentials.
3. Install dependencies: cd go-service && go mod tidy
4. Run service: go run cmd/main.go
5. Enable in GeniXCMS admin: Settings → API → Backend: "go"

☁️ Cloud Storage Support (S3-Compatible)

GeniXCMS supports cloud storage integration with S3-compatible services (AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.) through a lightweight Async AWS S3 library. This feature is completely optional and only loads when S3 credentials are configured.

Benefits:

• Reduced Bundle Size: Uses async-aws/s3 (~2MB) instead of full AWS SDK (~50MB+).
• Better Performance: Async operations with minimal memory footprint.
• S3-Compatible: Works with AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and other S3-compatible services.

For detailed configuration, see Media Manager settings in the admin panel.

• PHP: 8.1 or newer.
  • Extensions: GD, cURL, OpenSSL, Imagick, Intl, mbstring, XML, PDO (with mysql/sqlite/pgsql drivers).
