About the Stack

The ArchFX Cloud product is primarily a Django API server deployed on AWS using Kubernetes with a PostgreSQL database for all metadata and Athena over S3 for machine data. High volume machine data is served via dedicated time series databases and merged with the low-volume metadata inside the Django APIs. Most customer facing UIs are implemented in a single page web app written in Typescript using Angular. Management and administrative views are implemented directly in Django. All backend code is written in Python. Background workers run via Celery on RabbitMQ. Product is delivered as SAAS, primarily in single-tenant deployments for large enterprise customers with infrastructure handled via Terraform and a CD mindset with frequent code releases to all customers.
