athma: Technical Architecture

The athma platform represents a sophisticated healthcare software ecosystem comprised of multiple layers. It is constructed using open source technologies and adheres to open standards. This ecosystem functions as a truly multi-tenant system, residing in the cloud and adopting a software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach. At its core, the Athma platform relies on a microservices architecture, with applications running atop it interconnected through a healthcare API layer. This setup enables external parties to develop their own applications that seamlessly integrate with the platform. The foundation of Athma is built upon four key principles: Scalability, Performance, Availability, and User Experience. The microservices architecture ensures scalability and availability. For enhanced performance, a dedicated search database and cache are provided. Additionally, a message bus facilitates smooth communication between services. Furthermore, an integrated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) layer supports the analytics engine in delivering real-time analytics to users
