# Phase 6: Universal Backend Adapter (UBA) System
|
|
|
|
**Phase:** 6
|
|
**Status:** 🔴 Not Started
|
|
**Effort:** 8-12 weeks
|
|
**Priority:** HIGH
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The Universal Backend Adapter (UBA) system enables Noodl to connect to any backend service (Directus, Supabase, Pocketbase, Firebase, custom APIs) through a unified configuration interface. Instead of hardcoding backend integrations, users configure adapters that translate between Noodl's data model and the target backend.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Problem Statement
|
|
|
|
Currently, Noodl users who want to use external backends must:
|
|
|
|
1. Manually configure HTTP requests for each endpoint
|
|
2. Handle authentication, pagination, and error handling themselves
|
|
3. Build custom UI for CRUD operations
|
|
4. No schema introspection - everything is manual
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Solution: UBA System
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
|
│ NOODL DATA LAYER │
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ Query Node → UBA Adapter → Backend API → Response │
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ The adapter handles: │
|
|
│ • Authentication (Bearer, Basic, API Key) │
|
|
│ • Schema introspection │
|
|
│ • Query translation │
|
|
│ • Pagination │
|
|
│ • Error normalization │
|
|
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

```

|
|
|
- [ ] Users can configure Directus/Supabase connection via UI
|
|
- [ ] Schema introspection populates dropdowns automatically
|
|
- [ ] CRUD operations work with configured adapters
|
|
- [ ] Debug panel shows live request/response data
|
|
- [ ] At least 3 backend adapters available
|

## History
|
|
|
|
- **2026-01-07**: Moved from Phase 3 TASK-008 to dedicated Phase 6
|
|
- Previously named "granular-deployment" which was misleading
