System Architecture Overview
Understanding the layered design principles and technical foundation that power EGG NIPPS' open source ecosystem.
System Architecture Components
Cloud Infrastructure
A globally distributed edge network across AWS, Vercel, and GlassDB ensuring low-latency access and data locality for all user interactions.
Microservices Layer
Modular, language-agnostic services built on gRPC and Vite, with circuit breakers for system resilience and dynamic load balancing.
State Management
Secure, decentralized data storage using blockchain for immutable logs and GlassDB for ephemeral data at scale.
Security Fabric
End-to-end encryption, zero-trust architecture, and real-time anomaly detection using AI across all system boundaries.
Layered Architecture Overview
Core Architectural Principles
Modularity
Each major system capability is separated into discrete, independently deployable components.
Elasticity
Automatic scaling and resource allocation based on real-time workload monitoring.
Security by Design
Cryptographic protections embedded at every architectural level with no exposed surfaces.
Decentralized Governance
Transparent, community-driven architecture decisions with multi-signature approval requirements for all core components.
