Overview

Access project (or rs-access-project) microservice is used as a backend for frontend. This service is used by the Web UI to retrieve its configuration and to aggregate some microservices information. It is a multitenant microservice, deployed for each user project. Regards has another microservice with a similar role, rs-access-instance, but dedicated to the system instance administration UI.

rs-access-project responsibilities :

• Handle the configuration of user's UI (UI modules, UI plugins and service plugins, like application's theme or layout)
• Proxy for several microservices :
  • rs-admin : CRUD operations concerning users of project
  • rs-catalog : search products in catalog in order to add service plugins applicable on each result
  • rs-storage : handle quotas in order to limit downloaded files in an order by user
  • rs-access-instance & rs-catalog : Replace toponyms with geometries in search

Concept	Compatibility	Description
Multitenant	Yes	Can handle multiple tenants/projects
Vertical scalability	No	Uses Jobs system
Horizontal scalability	No	Service can not be deployed with multiple instances

You can learn how the service works with the conception section.
