JIT Access Management

A temporary access request management tool where managers/admins can approve short-lived elevated access for engineers and support staff to different resources and environments.

Tech Stack

• Monorepo: Turborepo with npm workspaces
• Backend: Fastify, SQLite (via Kysely query builder)
• Frontend: React (Vite), Shadcn UI (Tailwind v4), TanStack React Query
• Auth: JWT-based (username + password)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 20
• npm

Setup

npm install
npm run seed
npm run dev

This starts both the API server (port 3001) and the frontend dev server (port 5173). The frontend proxies /api requests to the backend.

Seed Data

All users have the password: password123

Username	Name	Role
admin	Admin User	admin
alice	Alice Manager	approver
bob	Bob Engineer	requester
carol	Carol Support	requester

Resources: Database, Cache, Logs

Environments: Production, Staging, Development

The seed also creates sample access requests in various states (pending, approved, rejected).
