Architecture

GrowChief is composed of 3 main services and 2 external services - all 5 of the main services typically run within a single docker container, and talk to each other through HTTP. Those 4 main servers typically talk to other containers, running the external services - the SQL Database, Redis Queue and Storage.

• Frontend - Provides the Web user interface, talks to the Backend.

• Backend - Does all the real work, provides an API for the frontend, and posts work to the redis queue.

• Workers - Consumes work from the Temporal Service.

• Temporal Service - A simple queue for the workers to consume work from.

• SQL Database - Stores all the data, Postgres is typically used, but any SQL database can be used.

Backend

The backend is the “brain” of GrowChief, and coordinates all the work. Typically the SQL database it talks to is Postgres, but other databases can be used.
