Vignesh commented on FINERACT-2439:
-----------------------------------
Hi [~jdailey],
I am Vignesh, a final-year B.Tech IT student, and I am very interested in
proposing the *Self-Service API (BFF) Component POC* for GSoC 2026.
I have already established a strong technical foundation with the Fineract
codebase. Most recently, I successfully resolved {*}FINERACT-2520 (PR
#5592){*}, achieving a *100% Green Build with 44/44 passing checks* on the
Progressive Loan module. My local development environment is fully configured
for Java 21 and Gradle, and I am comfortable navigating the project's strict
GPG-signing and code-quality requirements.
For this POC, I am particularly interested in the *'Aggregator' pattern*
discussed by Yvana . Given my background with the MERN stack, I aim to design a
Spring Boot-based BFF that provides high-performance, lightweight JSON
responses (like a single {{/self/dashboard}} call) to simplify the integration
for future frontend developers.
I am currently drafting my detailed proposal and look forward to any guidance
you may have as the process kicks off.
Best regards,
Vignesh

> *Note: GSOC applicants - this is a "draft concept". Do not work on your

> *No one should work on this specific ticket unless assigned - the GSOC

> h3. *Build a Self-Service API Component that Connects to Apache Fineract*
> When the project removed self-service APIs in 2025, it did so understanding
> that we would need an outside component to make that connection as part of an
> overall solution.
> This project is to create - as a Proof of Concept (POC) - a new dedicated
> Self-Service API component or service that integration with Fineract backend.
> It will need to expose APIs to consumer facing applications for typical
> activities like viewing account balances, transaction initiation, loan
> application, etc.
> The idea is for GSOC candidates to propose a design and build the POC.
> Minimal criteria include testing, authentication methodology, documentation.
> Not included in this GSOC would be the end consumer APP, although that may be
> undertaken by another project and coordination would be needed.
