PMS-GO Enterprise Project Management System — A Developer's Deep Dive

An enterprise project management system built as a Go + Rust + Next.js monorepo that runs with a single Docker Compose command. The API requires bearer tokens on every route and supports MFA with TOTP enrolment; sensitive secrets such as TOTP keys and push tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. It ships 48 feature modules, including kanban boards, gantt charts, tasks, issues, OKRs, time tracking, invoicing, helpdesk, client portal, meetings, risks, procurement, whiteboard, and workflow, backed by four Rust crates for biometrics, cryptography, licensing, and synchronization. Data lives in PostgreSQL when online and switches to SQLite for offline operation, with a dedicated offline-sync UI.

The problem

Teams running delivery, operations, and stakeholder-facing work were stitching together separate SaaS tools for kanban, invoicing, helpdesk, and field work with no offline story — with no single self-hosted platform to run all of it together.

The approach

Analyzed the business requirements end-to-end, designed the PostgreSQL/SQLite schema and REST API surface, then implemented all 48 feature modules — kanban boards, gantt charts, OKRs, time tracking, invoicing, helpdesk, client portal, meetings, risk registers, procurement, whiteboard, and workflow — plus bearer-token auth with MFA/TOTP enrolment, AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for TOTP secrets and push tokens, and four dedicated Rust crates handling biometrics, cryptography, licensing, and sync. The whole stack comes up with one `docker compose` command.

The outcome

Unified planning, execution, and business operations in one self-hosted system: kanban, gantt, and OKR tools for delivery; invoicing, procurement, and contracts for operations; helpdesk and client portal for stakeholders — with offline-first data (PostgreSQL online, SQLite offline) and encrypted secrets throughout.
