Evolution

Evolution (Evo) is the application responsible for the administrator dashboard user interface of govDelivery. Bulletins are created and sent to Topics, rather than to the individual email addresses that will receive them.

  • A separate application, BulletinProcessor3, determines which email addresses belong to which topic.
Evolution takes data from the previously mentioned interactions and saves them into an Oracle database. Other applications reference this database acting on changes made to the database.

Evolution Quick Facts:

  • Repo: https://gitlab.granicuslabs.com/govdelivery/evolution/
  • Product: GovDelivery Core
  • Key Technologies: Ruby, Rails, Resque
  • Key Data Stores: Oracle, Redis, Kafka, ActiveMQ
  • Oracle Schema: evolution, mail_dbo, xact

BulletinProcessor3

BulletinProcessor3 (BP3) is the application responsible for backend bulletin processing. BP3 is primarily focused on preparing Bulletins to be sent via email and SMS, including calculating and gathering recipients and interpolating recipient data into bulletin content. BP3 launches whenever a new bulletin is added, and sends out the bulletin. It determines which email addresses are to receive the bulletin by determining which email addresses belong to which topic.

  • BP3 only prepares bulletins to be sent via email and SMS
    • Actual process for sending emails is through Strongmail
    • Actual process for sending SMS is through Twilio.

BP3 Quick Facts:

  • Repo: https://gitlab.granicuslabs.com/govdelivery/bulletin-processor-3
  • Product: GovDelivery Core
  • Key Technologies: Java, Spring Boot, iBatis
  • Key Data Stores: Oracle, Kafka, ActiveMQ
  • Oracle Schema: mail_dbo, evolution

Hyrule

Hyrule is a link tracking service. Links tracked in Bulletins or Messages sent by GovDelivery or TMS are rewritten to go through Hyrule, which redirects the user to their eventual destination and makes note in Kafka that a visit occurred. Hyrule supports several types of tracked URLs, including URLs with tracking data encoded in JWT, old Strongmail tracking URLs, and short tracking URLs.

Hyrule Quick Facts:

  • Repo: https://gitlab.granicuslabs.com/govdelivery/hyrule/

Overlay

Overlay allows end users (those receiving bulletins) to subscribe to topics. It is an Internal tool used only by Granicus employees for generating custom sign-up scripts. Overlay generates snippets of code that can be given to a customer to be placed on their website, creating a form for people to enter their email address to subscribe to topics.

Mackinaw

GovPlatform, or Mackinaw, is a scalable, internal integration framework that connects system events occurring in a source application with system actions executed by a destination application.
  • The end result is a suite of microservices that can be reused or adapted for future integration concepts.
  • Mackinaw is the bridge that connects services together via a standardized workflow.
The Mackinaw application is made up of two distinct, and independent parts:
  • Mackinaw Configuration Service
  • Integration Service Bus
The Mackinaw framework is structured so that it is application-agnostic.
  • Future integrations can be configured to accept any type of source event and trigger any type of destination action or actions.
  • As new microservices are added to Mackinaw, teams can choose to leverage this functionality to solve operational challenges faced by our multi-product customers, versus solving these problems themselves via point-to-point integrations.
The goal of Mackinaw is not to create net-new features and functionality, but rather connect and combine the power of Granicus applications and workflows as they exist today.
