System Architecture

Containers

• Containerise each service. We'll use Docker for this project and Portainer to manage containers
• At least one container each for the following:
  • Web front-end
  • API backend
  • Database?(TBD)
  • Web server
• Using containers offers us the ability to move the application easily if we ever need to.

Database

• Postgres

Backend

• Django/Django RestFramework
• Celery
• RabbitMQ
• Redis

Firewall
