Architecture Below is a typical architecture flow for a Next.js + Node-based solution:
+---------------------------------+
| Frontend (UI) |
| Next.js React pages and hooks |
| (e.g. /dashboard, /alerts ) |
+----------------^-----------------+
|
| (HTTP/HTTPS, API calls)
v
+---------------------------------+
| Next.js API Routes |
| or a separate Node.js server |
+----------------^-----------------+
|
+---------------------------+----------------------------+

v v v
+---------+ +-------------+ +--------------+ | Web | | Social Media| | NLP Service | | Crawler | | APIs | | (e.g. HF) | +---------+ +-------------+ +--------------+ | | | | | (Fetched or crawled data) | | v | +------------------------------------------------------+ | v +-------------------+ | Database (Mongo) | +-------------------+ | v +----------------------------------+ | Aggregated & Processed Data | +----------------------------------+ | v [Dashboard UI]
Frontend (Next.js):
Pages: index.js for home, dashboard.js for analysis results, alerts.js for flagged items. React components to display real-time flagged data. Next.js API Routes:
Could have routes like POST /api/crawl, GET /api/results, GET /api/flagged. Integrate a schedule or call out to a serverless function (or cron job) that crawls data. Crawler:
A separate microservice or script that runs periodically (via cron, GitHub Actions, or a job scheduler) to scrape or fetch data from AI sources & social media. Possibly store data in the DB, setting processed: false initially. NLP Service:
Could be integrated into the Node server or run as a separate Python-based service if you use Python libraries like spaCy, transformers, or specialized ML. The NLP pipeline marks documents as flagged or not flagged based on your “indicators.” Database:
Store raw text documents, analysis results, and logs of suspicious findings. MongoDB recommended for flexibility with semi-structured data.
- Monolithic Architecture: Provides a straightforward structure suitable for small to medium-sized applications.
- Backend: FastAPI
- Database: In-memory (for simplicity; can be replaced with PostgreSQL or another database as needed)
- Authentication: JWT tokens
- Containerization: Docker
- API Endpoints: Handling HTTP requests related to users and tasks.
- Data Storage: Managing in-memory data persistence for users and tasks.
- In-Memory Database: Chosen for simplicity in the sample project; recommended to use a persistent database for production.
- Possible Enhancements: Integrate a database like PostgreSQL, implement more robust authentication mechanisms, and add more comprehensive error handling.
