Chapter 3. Reference Architecture Environment
This reference architecture demonstrates an e-commerce system featuring a cross-platform mobile client, web portal, cloud application, MBaaS service, and API connectivity to external microservices hosted as a separate OpenShift Container Platform project. This back-end external microservice architecture, which encompasses representations of the various departmental and back-end functionalities of an e-commerce implementation, was developed as part of a previous project demonstrating Fuse Integration Services on OpenShift Container Platform. The software stack developed herein showcases Red Hat Mobile Application Platform’s ability to provide enterprise level client applications and feature sets, essential to large-scale distribution and usability. The overall design of the system is as follows:
