Infrastructure

The DBNL platform requires the following infrastructure:

• A Kubernetes cluster to host the DBNL platform services.

• A PostgreSQL database to store metadata.

• An object store bucket to store raw data.

• A Redis database to serve as a messaging queue.

• A load balancer to route traffic to the API or UI service.

Services

The DBNL platform consists in three core services:

• The API service (api-srv) serves the DBNL API and orchestrates work across the dbnl platform.

• The worker service (worker-srv) processes async jobs scheduled by the API service.

• The UI service (ui-srv) serves the DBNL UI assets.
