Services

It is a multi-service architecture where several software components interact with each other. This choice was made to ensure the modularity of the code and to guarantee the exploitability of certain OSRD services by external applications.

Current

Target

Mutiple things are planned to be done in the future, including:

• Add an authenticating reverse proxy service (gateway)
• Deploy editoast as a scalable map tile service
• Make the core service scalable
  • Core services will handle only one infrastructure (on a given version) at a time
  • Add a message broker (RabbitMQ) to dispatch queries to the right instance
  • Create a core-controller service that will spawn / kill / scale core services (k8s and docker support)
  • Responsibility for infrastructures loading is moved from the front to the core-controller
