Smart surveys - WP 3 IT Architecture

The primary objective of this work package is to develop microservices to achieve the overarching goal of creating and demonstrating the concept of Trusted Smart Surveys. This includes realizing a proof of concept for the complete end-to-end data collection process and demonstrating a robust solution. Work package 3 operates at the development level, focusing on the creation of platform-independent microservices as integral components.

Various microservices have been indicated to be developed and integrated among which the receipt scanning microservice, the geolocation microservice and the energy microservice.

The main objectives of WP3 are to:

  • Develop and containerise the selected microservices. 

  • Develop the APIs between the microservices and the core platforms. 

  • Document the microservices and APIs. 

  • Support platforms and NSIs to include the microservices in the core platforms. 

  • Perform a “pentest” (security, penetration) and stress test (load performance). 

  • Describe the architecture of the core platforms. 

  • Describe the architecture of the (developed) microservices. 

  • Describe and execute the deployment strategy for both the core and microservices. 

  • Keep and maintain a public GitHub repository to make the microservices available as open source.

Looking at the timeline, the first microservice to be integrated, is the receipt scanning microservice, followed by the geolocation and the energy microservice.
