Information for running your own PRIVATE branded instance of Buzzy - a low/no code platform for businesses to deliver desktop and mobile applications.

Buzzy is either install on premise or in the cloud. At it’s core it’s a set of Docker images that are typically installed in to Kubernetes (K8s) environment. While Buzzy could be installed as a stand-alone Docker install or Docker Swarm, Kubernetes is typically used to give more robustness, auto-scaling and reliability.

The Buzzy software is comprised of a number of key components/services:

• Buzzy servers - this is a set of NodeJS micro services:
  • Core services - a docker image that handles the core service
  • Logging service - docker image that handles all things logging. Logging can be used for analytics - eg who has views a resource, comment etc and logging of other events.
  • Database - Mongo based persistent scalable storage. This can be an on premise instance of Mongo or a hosted MongoDB
  • Object Storage Service - an AWS S3 compatible S# service. These can be hosted on AWS or on premise with a service like Minio
  • External Services- there are various external services that a Buzzy server can integrate with. Including 3rd Party REST API end points like Spectrum Spatial, ServiceNow, SalesForce, HCL Connections etc and Single Sign On (SSO) services like Microsoft/Office 365, HCL Connections, Google, Slack etc
  • Push Services provided by Google’s Firebase and Apple Push Notifications
• Buzzy clients are typically one of:
  • Browser clients like Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer
  • Native Apps build as branded native applications that are able to communicate with the Buzzy Server. Buzzy uses React Native to create these native application. It’s important to not that a single Buzzy client can house/deliver any Buzzy application, so separate native applications are not required.
