01 · Overview

Turning property listings into a governed business platform

Property software becomes operationally complex once multiple agencies, team members, listing sources, plans, renewals, payments, and verification decisions share the same platform. Assets Linkers represents those concerns in a dedicated backend and a broad administrative frontend.

The repository includes property creation and moderation, agency management, bulk import, areas, plans, subscriptions, verification queues, administrative invitations, and audit logs. A production Docker composition keeps the frontend, backend, and PostgreSQL responsibilities deployable as separate services.

02 · The challenge

Keeping property operations accountable across agencies and administrators

A useful property platform needs to answer who can create, review, publish, override, subscribe, pay, and investigate. Those permissions and transitions must stay consistent across the public marketplace, agency teams, and administrative tools.

01

Represent users, roles, agencies, memberships, and property ownership clearly.

02

Support moderation, verification queues, and external listing origins.

03

Model plans, subscriptions, changes, add-ons, and payments as durable records.

04

Provide administrative auditability and deployment-ready service boundaries.

03 · Engineering decisions

Engineering choices that shaped the system

The engineering direction emphasizes explicit data relationships and role enforcement so operational rules remain reviewable as the platform grows.

01

Build the platform around a durable domain schema

Nineteen Prisma models cover identity, agencies, properties, plans, subscriptions, payments, verification, sessions, invitations, and audit history.

02

Centralize role and permission logic

Backend RBAC and administrative permission definitions support protected operations rather than relying on hidden interface controls.

03

Keep moderation and audit history explicit

Verification queues, property moderation, bulk import, external origins, and audit logs create traceable administrative workflows.

04

Package the services for production deployment

Docker definitions separate frontend, backend, and PostgreSQL while applying Prisma generation and migrations during controlled startup.

04 · System workflow

A property lifecycle with operational controls

The system connects inventory creation with the governance and commercial records around it.

1

Onboard

Create accounts, verify users, and establish agency membership.

2

Publish

Create or import properties with structured ownership and status.

3

Govern

Moderate listings, review verification, and record administrative actions.

4

Manage access

Manage plans, subscriptions, add-ons, changes, and payments.

Questions

About the project and its evidence

What makes Assets Linkers more than a listing website?

The codebase includes agencies, memberships, RBAC, verification, property moderation, subscriptions, payments, administrative invitations, audit logs, and production service configuration.

Does this page claim the platform is live?

No. It documents the development evidence present in the local repository and does not claim production users or commercial performance.

What security work remains important?

The repository itself notes that access-token storage should move toward stronger server-side session handling before production, alongside security review, monitoring, backups, and operational testing.

Have a product idea?

Build property software around governed operations, not listings alone.
