Infrastructure Compatibility

CESSDA Infrastructure is based on Docker Containers orchestrated by Kubernetes.

Thus any CESSDA service must follow the following design principles, building upon the Twelve-Factor App:

• Applications must be capsuled in individual Docker containers exposing ports.

• Configuration must be read from the environment on startup.

• Rest APIs
  • Use API versioning.
  • Provide OpenAPI documentation.
  • Implement X-Request-ID headers.
• See logging guidelines for further information re logging container output.
