Question: Extending the core features (aka Plugin system)

[pfurini]

Hi
is there some standard way in place to be able to extend core features, without hacking the core code directly?
Put in another way: is there a plugin system?

Thanks
P.

@nawazdhandala well, a lot of things potentially.. I mean, I'm looking for a no-lock-in alternative of Firebase, but I'm not a newbie dev.
I need the freedom to add custom API endpoints (aka controllers) without the burden of a separate server, integrate and swap out different storage providers (like for example storing files both locally and on S3 or whatever), and the list can go on..

[nawazdhandala]

That's in our roadmap, but it will take months before it see's the light of the day.

I see.. and it was clear navigating through the code, but I wanted to hear an official response ;)

Surely it will need a major refactoring, but just to have a sneak peak, have you already considered which extension points you're going to support in the first iteration?

Thx, P.
