⁠ROS Backend Service

⁠About ROS

Remote Orchestration Services (ROS) is part of the Dream Platform⁠, a comprehensive solution for managing microfrontend architectures at scale. As an open-source project (GitHub Repository⁠), ROS provides the core infrastructure needed to orchestrate and manage module federation in enterprise environments.

⁠Backend Overview

The ROS Backend provides the core infrastructure and APIs that power the microfrontend management platform. It handles:

1. Storage and Distribution

   • Cloud storage integration (AWS S3, Azure Blob)
   • Internal module hosting
   • CDN integration and management
   • Version management and distribution

2. Security and Access Control

   • Fine-grained access control at host level
   • Authentication system integration
   • Comprehensive audit logging
   • Data sovereignty compliance
   • Security policy enforcement

3. System Integration

   • API endpoints for module federation
   • Real-time monitoring and metrics
   • Event processing and notifications
   • Integration with existing infrastructure

4. Performance and Reliability

   • High-availability configuration
   • Load balancing and scaling
   • Cache management
   • Health monitoring and diagnostics

⁠Core Capabilities

• Remote module configuration management
• Host-remote relationship tracking
• Access control and security management
• Cloud storage integration (AWS S3, Azure Blob)
• Real-time analytics and monitoring
• Version control and deployment orchestration

⁠Base Images

• Runtime: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0
• Build: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0

⁠Build Process

1. Build Stage:

   • Restores NuGet packages
   • Copies source code
   • Builds application in Release configuration

2. Publish Stage:

   • Creates optimized production build
   • Publishes to /app/publish directory

3. Final Stage:

   • Uses runtime-only base image
   • Copies published files
   • Configures ASPNET_CORE URLs
   • Sets up entry point

⁠Environment Variables

• ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT: Runtime environment (default: Development)
• ASPNETCORE_URLS: API endpoints (http://+:5000;https://+:5001)
• ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Path: SSL certificate path
• ASPNETCORE_Kestrel__Certificates__Default__Password: SSL certificate password

⁠Development Usage

# Build and run backend container
docker-compose up backend

# Build backend container only
docker-compose build backend

⁠Production Considerations

• Use proper SSL certificate management
• Configure appropriate security headers
• Set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to Production
• Implement proper logging configuration
• Consider using Docker health checks
• Implement proper backup strategies for any persistent data

⁠Ports

• HTTP: 5000 (internal and host)
• HTTPS: 5001 (internal and host)

⁠Volumes

• SSL Certificates: ~/.aspnet/https:/https:ro (read-only)
