# Architecture

## Overview

OncoKB™ website consists of following components:

* Frontend built with React, Mobx and Bootstrap
* User/Permission management backend written in Java with Spring Boot
* Annotation service(core) backend written in Java
* MySQL databases

The frontend is a single page app built with React, Mobx and Bootstrap. The data gets pulled from the backend REST APIs. The frontend is by default included with the backend so no extra setup is required.

The backends are written in Java and connects to MySQL databases to serve a REST API generated by swagger (<https://www.oncokb.org/swagger-ui/index.html>).&#x20;
