Prerequisites

Developer Guide​

AVAplace is a cloud platform for integration and development of business applications and to let them communicate with each other. It is based on microservices architecture and domain driven design principles.

There are many possibilities to integrate your application within AVAplace. You can create a full fledged application with its own UI, based on provided Storybook controls, or you can create a backend service which will communicate with other services via events or RestAPI.

This document will guide you through the essential concepts and tools needed to start developing on the AVAplace platform.
