Backend

The backend consists of multiple feeders responsible for downloading security advisories from various sources. Everything is collected in a Kvrocks database.

An internal Pub/Sub service is available, enabling each feeder to publish the collected data to the event stream. This allows for seamless integration with services like:

• Apache Solr, for example, to index all JSON files efficiently

• email notification system

It is also possible to activate an authenticated HTTP event-stream subscribe service.

Interface

Tools
