Repositories

• Application
• buildout to deploy the application (both prod & dev)
• Minilay for minitage

Buildout & minilay notes

• The buildout was first generated via cgwb and the Generic Portal Plone42 template.
• It will add some extra tools in dev mode
• It will add supervisor, crons for maintainance logrotate and vhost supports in production.
• We use ZEO to allow easy scalability of the application
• To enhance scalability, we use haproxy to load balance the zope backends (only one ATM).

Implementation notes

• There are lot of tests, to understand the code, read them !
• Tasks are (re)scheduled via collective.cron, see CONFIG
• Tasks can be triggered manually either at source or database level (crontab dashboard)
• Default plone user profiles have been extended to allow supplier and operator subscribptions
• Source, event and database are dexterity contents
