Harbinger is designed with scalability, performance, and real-time data processing in mind, ensuring that your application needs run efficiently, even under heavy loads. Here’s an overview of the core components that drive the platform and how they are interconnected:
- The Harbinger platform is built with Angular for the frontend and NestJS for the backend, providing a robust, maintainable, and scalable architecture.
- Multiple instances of these applications are horizontally scaled to ensure high availability and can handle large amounts of requests. The frontend and backend work together to manage user interactions, provide real-time updates, and handle data requests.
- To minimize response times and avoid frequent database lookups, Redis is used for caching leaderboard and user data. This caching layer improves the overall performance by reducing the load on the database and speeding up the retrieval of frequently accessed data, such as XP levels and promotions.
- Redis is also utilized for storing session data and temporary information needed across multiple components, providing a seamless user experience.
- Elasticsearch indexes all settings and data, allowing for lightning-fast search and real-time analytics. Any updates or changes to user data (e.g., XP, promotions) are indexed into Elasticsearch.
- This ensures that searches, such as looking up user profiles or retrieving ranking data, are instantaneous even as data scales across multiple users and guilds.
- The system relies on Apache Kafka for managing the flow of messages between different services. When users in Discord interact with the bot, Kafka queues and processes messages asynchronously, ensuring smooth handling of large message volumes.
- Kafka Consumers scale automatically based on load, making sure that the application can dynamically handle peaks in user activity without compromising performance.
- The Discord Bot communicates directly with multiple Discord guilds, capturing messages and user interactions in real-time. It handles all XP tracking, promotion updates, and user management directly within Discord.
- As users engage with the bot, messages are passed to Kafka and processed asynchronously, ensuring the system can handle thousands of messages efficiently.
- Based on message load or user activity, the Kafka Consumers and NestJS/Angular instances auto-scale to meet the demand. This elasticity ensures that Harbinger can serve hundreds of thousands of users without downtime or slowdowns.
This infrastructure ensures that Harbinger is fast, reliable, and scalable, supporting Discord guilds of any size with real-time data handling and seamless integration.
