Application

Application is a layer of Edgeville Architecture. It consists of Services, and Workloads. Customer applications or use cases use the Services and Workload Sub Systems. Analytics is an example of how to utilize the Services and Workloads to create new applications.

Interface

  • CLI - Command Line Interface
  • REST-API -
  • Portal - Web Portal

Deployment Architecture

This subsystem is deployed using micro-services as shown in the diagram below. The ‘micro’ module is used to implement the micro-services in the system. The subsystem also has an CLI, REST and Web Interface exposed through a sailajs application. The sailsjs application will interface with the micro-services and can monitor and drive work-flows through the mesh of micro-services.

Physical Architecture

The Application subsystem is is physically laid out on a hybrid cloud infrastructure. Each microservice is shown how they connect to each other. All of the micro-services communicate to each other and the main app through a REST interface. A CLI, REST or Web interface for the app is how other subsystems or actors interact. Requests are forwarded to micro-services through the REST interface of each micro-service.
