The system-definition file is the basis of all configurations. In this page, we describe the different functions available to get properties specified in the system-definition.kts file. Default methods have implementations to provide default values for each property.

This page gives details of the configuration requirements common to adaptors for all vendors.
Initialising and adding to a new application
Database caching on local microservices is supported out of the box. You can configure a caching layer for any Genesis module. The cache can reduce the database workload for tables that contain static data.
The Genesis low-code platform supports the following database technology:
Genesis Router is responsible for all communication between the front end and back end.

Site-specific is an area of the run directory where you can override the standard definitions found elsewhere in your application. By default, its location is:
