+# Credits service
+
+## Features
+
+This service allows one to manage a catalog of the Open Source initiatives enabling and powering this development project.
+
+Each record of the catalog includes the following information:
+
+* `id`: a technical unique identifier acting as primary key in the underlying database
+* `uuid`: a business unique identifier
+* `name`: the name of the credited initiative
+* `description`: a short description of the credited initiative, in particular of the role the latter plays in this project
+* `links`: a collection of URLs related to the credited initiative, modeled as a One-To-Many relationship
+* `logo`: the URL of the logo of the credited initiative
+* `published`: a boolean flag, indicating whether the record is published or not (draft)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This service has no dependency on other components.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+The service provides two endpoints,
+
+1. `/credits`
+2. `/links`
+
+allowing one to perform CRUD operations on credits and links in a RESTful manner.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The service is implemented using the [NestJS](https://nestjs.com/) framework. We refer the reader to the [NestJS-based micro-services](../../miscellaneous/nestjs-micro-services.md) page for further details concerning NestJS and the features it provides.
+
+Data persistence is achieved by using [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) and [TypeORM](https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm).
