⁠CITE Accounting Service Webapp

The CITE Accounting Service is a service developed by CITE SA and provides an aggregation functionality through which various services can centrally log accounting information as it is gradually accumulated by their usage from the respective authorized clients. Different accumulation policies and granularity of information is supported depending on the respective services. The information consists of globally defined key point indicators and the aggregation and reports generated based on these becomes available for further usage, as appropriate. All accounting data are indexed in Elasticsearch. Various views, charts and aggregations are offered. It can be integrated with other systems by a REST API or RabbitMQ. Built using ASP.NET and Angular. PostgreSQL is used for non-accounting data storage.
