The underlying technology

  • A modern multi-tenanted microservices API based scalable architecture, running in Kubernetes with an Linkerd2 service mesh for internal communications
  • Built with a modern scalable technology stack
    • .NET 6 MVC Frontend
    • .NET 6 REST based Microservices Backend
    • Containerization using Docker on Linux
    • Container Orchestration using Kubernetes
    • Service Mesh
    • Native Cloud, hosted on Azure AKS
    • API based, used by all satellite journeys
  • The services communicate internally via a Linkerd service mesh and event-driven integrations using RabbitMQ. The services expose RESTful APIs used by the other services and the UI elements of the solution. In addition, all services use Redis caches to speed up common data access to reduce the load on SQL and increase service performance.
  • Authorisation and authentication are handled by Keycloak, which is integrated using industry-standard OAuth2 protocols and cookies for UI security. JWT is used to secure the services.
