The Issue

Design and implementation of a PoC for the information system for evidence and evaluation of application forms for renewal of family houses along with the software and process support of the application forms and related projects. 

Renewal of family housing is a part of the Renewal and Resilience Plan of the Slovak Republic. The target is to financially support the renewal of 30 thousand old family houses until the year 2026. The reduction of energy demand of the houses will have a positive influence on the household economics and further more will lead to reduction of CO2 emissions which helps to improve the environment quality and health of the Slovak population.

The Solution

SEA requires a solution based on microservice architecture, its implementation and operation (including the customer portal and integration module) in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In addition, OCI will be a target platform also for other SEA projects. 

Proposed solution ensure high compatibility and seamless implementation for the final solution of IS on OCI platform and support maximization the usage of OCI platform services. The application modules are deployed in the Container Engine for Kubernetes platform service. Other additional OCI supporting services, e.g. Vault service, Object storage, DNS are used as well. Part of the solution uses MS SQL database, which is designed as deployment of database package into the OCI platform service. The design also takes in account usage of additional components apart from the OCI environment, e.g. local mail server or local logging server.

Results and benefits

The expected result is a scalable and sustainable platform built on modern technologies. Based on the PoC results and ongoing further analysis and implementation of additional functions into the solution of IS we ensure for SAE continual development and effective support for processing of applications forms and related projects. 

Implementation of OCI platform services provide to customer simple solution for configuration of scalability, data redundancy, backup and other features according to the SEA needs.
