Topolo Bytes | Topolo Docs

What It Is

Topolo Bytes is the media and asset-management surface in the Topolo portfolio. It manages uploads, organization, sharing, and guest-friendly access flows over Cloudflare-backed storage.

Architecture

Bytes combines a browser interface with a worker/API surface and Cloudflare storage primitives such as R2 and KV. It also exposes guest-sharing and media-processing workflows.

Runtime Surfaces

Use /systems/topolo-bytes for the current deployment inventory and service metadata.

API Reference

The contract is currently curated in the docs platform rather than OpenAPI-backed. The active surface centers on asset listing, upload, organization, sharing, and media-processing workflows.

Auth and Permissions

Authenticated operator flows rely on Topolo Auth. Guest collection views are a distinct sharing surface and should be treated separately from operator access. The operator browser session path now uses the shared Topolo cookie-refresh auth client.

Data Ownership

Bytes owns asset metadata, folder organization, sharing links, and media-processing state while depending on Cloudflare storage bindings for object persistence.

Deployments

Bytes deploys as a Cloudflare worker plus browser app pair with storage and sharing bindings.

Failure Modes

guest-sharing behavior drifts from operator permission rules
storage bindings or sharing namespaces are misconfigured
auth assumptions leak into guest-only access paths

Debugging

Start with /systems/topolo-bytes, then verify whether the issue belongs to storage, guest sharing, auth, or media-processing flows.
