Request Boundary

  • • Traefik is the public entry point for every platform API
  • • auth-service applies ForwardAuth and role policy
  • • Each Go service remains independently deployable

Platform Runtime

  • • Seven infrastructure services own focused platform capabilities
  • • NATS JetStream carries asynchronous platform events
  • • PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO form the shared state plane

Operational Evidence

  • • OpenTelemetry and Prometheus collect runtime signals
  • • Grafana and Jaeger support inspection and diagnosis
  • • Guided chapters reveal request, state, event, and telemetry paths
