Architectural Overview
DNS | The DNS also known as Domain Name System is Regterschot's website. Where a user can view data. |
---|---|
User Browser | Browser that's used by a user to access the website. |
CDN | Content Delivery Network is a service that distrubutes user requests to increase performance. |
Load Balancer | Load balancer is a REST-API. It's used to distribute incoming traffic across virtual machines. |
Web app Webapp Servers | This is the web application that we are making as the group Smalltalk. |
Database | The database is used so that the web application can get data to produce graphs for the dashboards. |
View Dashboards | To view a dashboard is an end goal so that the user can see the relevant graphs. |
Services | Services are the dependencies that our web application uses. |
Data Warehouse | The data warehouse is where the data is stored of every single race. |
Cloud Storage | Cloud storage is where data that is saved on the cloud is stored. |
Deployment Diagram
BrokerServer | The brokerserver will run with a brokerservice on it. This brokerservice will allow us to create large data-streams. This will in turn allow us to create dynamic graphs on our webpage without having to consult a database twenty times a second. This brokerservice is connected via a broker connection to the Java application API. |
---|---|
DatabaseServer | The database will contain all data that is not required to be updated to show real-time data. This will thus include all sensor-data of past races, as well as all data required for logging in and creating race-views. The database system we use is MySQL, because of it's accessibility and relative ease to use. MySQL runs on a databaseServer, that is connected to the Java Application API with the use of a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) Database Connection. |
ApplicationServer | The ApplicationServer will contain the API itself. This API will use Jakarta EE and Wildfly 25.0, which allows us to run an API with ease in a web environment. Using the REST API, this Java Application will connect to a webserver and deploy its .war artifact there. |
Webserver | The webserver is the link between user and API and is the part of our API that the user can interact with. This webserver could also be described as a simple website. |
User PC | The user PC is the eventual device on which the API and webpage will be run. This is the user end of our application. |
