# Architecture
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
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 is used to generate responses for 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Because they are unnecessary to for generating a response, updates to the Storage for a particular request are done asynchronously in a PostHook.
