Introduction

Lotus is designed to be a high-performance, scalable solution for modern web applications, leveraging the power of microservices and a reactive user interface. It's built with flexibility in mind, allowing for seamless integration with various databases and messaging systems.

Architecture

The Lotus architecture is composed of several independent microservices that communicate over gRPC and RabbitMQ. Each service is responsible for a discrete aspect of the application, ensuring maintainability and scalability.

Technologies

• Backend: Koa.js for building RESTful APIs and handling server-side logic.
• Frontend: React for a dynamic and responsive user interface.
• Messaging: RabbitMQ for reliable message brokering between services.
• Inter-Service Communication: gRPC for efficient and type-safe service-to-service communication.
• Databases: SQL Server and MongoDB for structured and unstructured data storage.
