Primary Service Matrix

admin-service

Go + Gin + GORM | 8081

Authentication, admin hierarchy, governments/departments, dashboard aggregates

content-service

Node.js + Express + pg | 8082 / gRPC 50051

Posts, articles, comments, likes/bookmarks, media upload, AI summary trigger

complaint-service

Go + Gin + GORM + PostGIS | 8083

Complaint lifecycle, votes, action timelines, nearby geospatial queries

chatbot-service

Python FastAPI + WebSocket | 8084

PulseBot APIs, RAG retrieval, vector ingest/update

ai-worker

Python + RabbitMQ + gRPC | 8085 / 50052

Async summarization, complaint analysis, assistant worker jobs

End-to-End Request Flow

User clients (Vue admin panel + Flutter app) call NGINX gateway routes.

Gateway forwards to domain services (admin, content, complaint, chatbot).

Service-owned PostgreSQL databases persist domain state with strict boundaries.

RabbitMQ carries async jobs consumed by AI worker for summarization/analysis.

Chatbot service ingests policy + dynamic content into ChromaDB for RAG responses.

Core Infrastructure Components

PostgreSQL (admin_db, content_db, complaint_db)

PostGIS for complaint geospatial search

RabbitMQ for asynchronous pipelines

Redis for cache/session/counters/chat history

MinIO for object storage

ChromaDB for vector retrieval
