Microservices

Operation Center is built using a microservice architecture.

Why is OC leveraging a microservice architecture?

• To scale services independently.
• Different teams can be responsible for their services.
• To enforce feature/service boundaries better.
• Use the best technologies for the task per service.

Examples of services are:

• Authorization service - for getting allowed tenants.
• User service - for getting user information / creating users etc.
• Work item change service - for pushing change events for work items.

Services are allowed to cache their own data, and cache data from the change events for their needs.
Services can publish changes to the block chain, but might have internal data storage that they own.

Currently all OC back-end services are written in ASP.NET Core. The OC front-end web app is powered by Angular. Services are available outside the cluster via an API gateway.
