Components ​

The architecture consists of the following key components:

Stadtbezirksbudget Application ​

The Stadtbezirksbudget application is the core system that caseworkers use to manage and process applications.

PostgreSQL Database ​

Application data, except for attachments, is stored in a PostgreSQL database.

Form Server (FOR) ​

The Form Server is the platform where citizens enter their application data. It serves as the initial point of contact for users, providing a user-friendly interface for submitting requests.

SBB-FOR-EAI ​

The SBB-FOR-EAI component acts as an intermediary, managing the flow of data between the Form Server and the Stadtbezirksbudget application. It ensures that information is accurately transmitted via the event bus and an S3 storage.

DBS (Zammad) ​

Zammad is the communication tool that connects citizens with caseworkers. It facilitates seamless interactions, allowing for inquiries, updates, and notifications throughout the application process.

Event Bus (Kafka) ​

The Event Bus, powered by Kafka, facilitates high-availability communication between the form server (FOR) and the Stadtbezirksbudget application.

S3 Storage ​

S3 Storage is used to centrally store all attachments, making them reliably accessible throughout the application process.

E-Akte ​

E-Akte is the documentation system that tracks the entire application process. It maintains a comprehensive record of actions taken, decisions made, and communications exchanged, ensuring auditability and accountability.

SSO (Keycloak) ​

Keycloak provides Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities, enabling streamlined access to the application for caseworkers.
