### Description
BitTorrent clients send announce and scrape requests to a _Frontend_.
BitTorrent clients send Announce and Scrape requests to a _Frontend_.
Frontends parse requests and write responses for the particular protocol they implement.
The _TrackerLogic_ interface to is used to generate responses for their requests and optionally perform a task after responding to a client.
A configurable chain of _PreHook_ and _PostHook_ middleware is used to construct an instance of TrackerLogic.
PreHooks are middleware that are executed before the response has been written.
The final middleware in a chain of PreHooks ensures the existance of any required response fields by reading out of the configured implementation of the _Storage_ interface.
After all PreHooks have executed, any missing response fields that are required are filled by reading out of the configured implementation of the _Storage_ interface.
PostHooks are asynchronous tasks that occur after a response has been delivered to the client.
Request data is written to storage asynchronously in one of these PostHooks.
