  3. Flexible Server Roles:

    • Allows configuring multiple server roles within a cluster setup to optimize performance for specific tasks or sets of tasks.
  4. Pylon - Client-Side Server:

    • Pylon serves as a server on the client side, offering full server features but does not accept remote transfer requests.
    • Ideal for seamless integration into web or desktop applications, providing high-performance file transfers in the background.
  5. RESTful API & OpenAPI Specification:

    • Utilizes RESTful APIs for easy and powerful communication with servers, clusters, or Pylon instances.

    • Ensures uniformity and convenience for integration development and management.
  7. JWT Authentication:

    • Implements JWT (JSON Web Token) for efficient and secure user authentication and authorization.
    • Uses asymmetrically signed JWT tokens with private/public key pairs, simplifying integration and enhancing security.
  8. Two-Tier File Management:

    • Manages files through storage and share resources on the server or Pylon side.
    • Each resource type can have custom settings for performance throttling or resource access, with storage resource managing S3 credentials.
  9. Four-Level Configuration Structure:

    • Offers flexibility with four levels of configurations (license, global, storage, share) where settings follow a hierarchical order of precedence.
    • Allows fine-tuning of SaaS integrations to meet specific requirements efficiently.
  10. Multi-Level Structured Logging:

    • Provides structured logging in JSON format with multiple levels (info, debug, error, trace), facilitating easy integration for monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting purposes.
  11. Cloud Object Storage Support:

    • Supports S3-compatible object storage alongside local storage options such as AWS S3, Wasabi, Minio, and others.
    • Enhances flexibility in storage solutions to cater to diverse needs and preferences.
