DAM Developer Overview
In this article we will look at DAM from a developers perspective and provide you with the overview and references you need to get started.
Before getting started
In this concept article you can find a overview of DAM, delving into its fundamental concepts and detailing its key features. If you haven't already, we highly recommend reading it.
Also, this article provides a comprehensive technical overview of the Bizzkit platform.
Finally, it's crucial to understand our release policy. Kindly go through this article where you'll find detailed information about specific releases, modifications, instructions for upgrades, and more.
Creating a test environment in Docker
All Bizzkit applications can be run in docker which makes it easy to set up a local environment for test, demo and development. Please refer to this article for more information.
API
DAM is composed of a REST API that includes endpoints concerning files, folders, attributes, predefined settings, and so forth.

Every API endpoint and schema is documented within the code making their usage in development environments or via Swagger highly intuitive and efficient.
REST clients
In order to facilitate seamless integration and application development, we provide pre-packaged solutions in the form of NuGet packages. These include auto-generated .NET clients and factory classes to make it easy to authenticate.

Events
During normal operation, DAM emits certain kinds of events that are used internally to perform a range of operations but can also be used externally to build a tight integration. The way these events can be consumed is through web hooks. Please refer to this article for more information.
Job Runner
DAM includes a job runner, facilitated by Hangfire, which is used for caching, transformations, clean-up and so on. You can access the Hangfire UI via Settings -> Background Services within the user interface. Please refer to this article for more information.
