Components and Concepts
This section provides an in-depth look at the architectural design of the SDLC platform. It explores the underlying principles, key components, and system interactions that enable the development of enterprise-grade applications. By understanding these concepts, you’ll gain insight into how the platform ensures scalability, robustness, and maintainability, serving as a strong foundation for your projects.

📄️ Services
Services generally hold data and state around a specific area of concern. The primary responsibility is to receive
📄️ Orchestrators
Orchestrators are responsible for managing workflows across one or more Services, Adapters,
📄️ Adapters
Adapters are responsible for obfuscating the partner interactions by abstracting them to the higher level business action being performed. These components serve to decouple a system from it's third party dependencies. This decoupling is achieved by defining the interfaces to these adapters in the system's context and naming conventions, and by removing third party code from our critical business units, increasing our ability to change partners without breaking the system.
📄️ Routers
Routers are intelligent message routing components that direct requests, events, and data flows between different parts of a distributed system. They provide dynamic routing capabilities, load balancing, protocol translation, and message transformation while maintaining high performance and reliability.
📄️ Assessors
Assessors provide an abstraction over a rule engine. Their sole purpose is to receive assessment requests, gather
📄️ Workflows
Workflows are orchestrated sequences of operations that coordinate multiple services and components to achieve complex business objectives. They provide a declarative way to define, execute, and monitor multi-step processes while handling failures, retries, and compensating actions.
📄️ Tasks
Tasks are atomic units of work that represent discrete operations within a distributed system. They serve as the fundamental building blocks for workflows, batch processing, and background job execution. Tasks encapsulate business logic, handle execution context, and provide mechanisms for retry, monitoring, and failure recovery.
