Backend CMS Architecture

Dual Architecture Configuration

The BKU Blog System features a dual-engine architecture:

Browser & Offline Mode (Active): All posts and edits are stored and synchronized directly in the browser’s persistence layer, guaranteeing instant load times and reliable fallback across any static or CDN environment without requiring a running database server.
Node.js Express + MySQL Mode (Optional): The repository includes a full Express API in blogs/blogs-admin/ with MySQL schema sql/blog.sql. When running on port 8086, this studio automatically detects and syncs with the live API.

            To start the MySQL Admin server (Optional):

            cd blogs/blogs-admin

            npm install

            node server.js   # Starts on http://127.0.0.1:8086
