FSM V1.4 Getting started with DIGIT

For enabling any municipal-service on a fresh environment and for the first time, we need to have basic idea of what DIGIT does and what all generic services are required for setting it up .

DIGIT is an open-source, customizable platform that lends itself to extensibility. New modules can be built on top of the platform to suit new use-cases or existing modules can be modified or replaced. To enable this, in addition to deploying DIGIT, a CD/CI pipeline should be set up. CD/CI pipelines enable the end user to automate & simplify the build/deploy process.


Refer here for further reference of DIGIT and its deployment.


Core Services:

DIGIT platform comprises of couple of core-services that serves as the backbone for the platform.
There are several core-services like:

  1. Workflow Service

  2. Location Service

  3. User Service

  4. Access Control Service

  5. PDF Service

  6. Payment Service

  7. MDMS Service

  8. Indexer Service

  9. Persister Service

  10. ..and many more

 

Each microservice has a distinct function, which is explained in the provided documentation links.

Once you understand the platform and its terminology, you'll be well-prepared to activate any particular municipal service.
