Architecture

Converged is designed as a modular platform, but not as a chaotic collection of microservices. The separation is simple: the interface shows data and launches actions, Runtime executes processes, microservices own data, and adapters connect equipment and external systems.

Microservices intentionally stay thin. Each service is responsible for its data area, validation, and typed API. It should not know the internal logic of neighboring services and should not become a hidden center of business processes. This lowers coupling and makes the system easier to maintain.

All cross-domain logic is moved into Runtime. If the system needs to accept an order, query several services, create a task, send a notification, wait for an event, and update status, that is executed in a workflow. Runtime does not store persistent state itself: it writes history, variables, and results through the services that own their storage.

Storage is built around isolation. Instead of one shared database, each domain gets its own data boundaries: SQL, key-value, file storage, column data, vector indexes, or graph relations where needed. This approach helps move workspaces, limit access, and avoid a common database where different clients’ data is mixed.

The frontend is modular as well. The shared shell loads independent micro-frontends through an import map, so individual interface areas can evolve without rebuilding the entire product. For the user it remains one system, while development keeps clear areas of responsibility.
