TES is built on the Cadmus app framework by Daniele Fusi.

Infrastructure

This domain hosts multiple project stacks (frontend + APIs) orchestrated via a reverse proxy. Each public endpoint is exposed through a dedicated subdomain.

tes-app.* for the project editor
tes-api.* for API services feeding the editor

Scope

The infrastructure supports digital, critical, and interpretative workflows across the ancient Mediterranean (with Sicily as a key case study), integrating spatial analysis, network perspectives, and epigraphic data.
