7.1.1. Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. It is a full-featured, highly scalable, and secure database primarily designed for enterprise environments used by many large organizations around the world.

Quality and/or Performance Features

  • Microsoft SQL Server is arguably the most secure, best peforming, and most reliable database management system available.

  • Microsoft SQL Server is over 30 years old and has been battle tested in the most demanding environments.

Mapping of Building Blocks to Infrastructure

  • Microsoft SQL server is used to store the data for the application. This includes the data for the users, the data for the campaigns, white label settings, and more.

7.1.2. Arbitrum

Although Arbitrum is a technical constraint imposed, it is a good choice for the project. Arbitrum is a layer 2 solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to scale smart contracts.

Quality and/or Performance Features

  • Arbitrum offers a high throughput, execution of smart contracts at a high rate.

Mapping of Building Blocks to Infrastructure

  • Arbitrum is used to host the smart contracts for the application.

7.2. Dev Deployment

7.2.1. Docker Containers

Docker is a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. All containers are run by a single operating system kernel and are thus more lightweight than virtual machines. Containers are created from images that specify their precise contents.

Quality and/or Performance Features

  • Docker offers a consistent development environment, a feature that allows for the development of applications in a way that is consistent across different environments.

  • Docker allows expedited onboarding of new developers, with a consistent development environment.

  • Docker DevContainer is a feature of Visual Studio Code that allows for defining the container environment for a project in a detailed way. A developer can jump in to a project and have the environment set up for them automatically, including all dependencies, tools, and even pre-seeded data.

Mapping of Building Blocks to Infrastructure

  • Docker is used to host the development environment for the application. This includes the React application, the API application, and the SQL database.
