System Architecture
Microservices-driven, event-sourced, and edge-optimized for low-latency knowledge retrieval.
Frontend & Edge
Progressive Web App with static site generation for core articles, SSR for dynamic queries, and edge-cached asset delivery.
Backend Services
Domain-driven microservices handling authentication, content graph, search indexing, and real-time collaboration.
Data & AI Layer
Vector databases for semantic search, relational storage for metadata, and RAG pipelines for AI synthesis.
Content Ingestion & Verification
Automated AI preprocessing fused with expert peer review to ensure academic-grade accuracy.
Raw Ingestion & Parsing
Documents, citations, and multimedia are normalized into structured markdown/JSON-LD. OCR and NLP extract entities, timelines, and references.
AI Cross-Referencing
- Claims matched against 2.4M+ verified articles
- Vector similarity scoring for source alignment
- Automated hallucination & bias detection
Expert Review Queue
Flagged or new entries route to domain specialists. Inline annotation tools enable tracked changes, dispute resolution, and citation approval.
Versioning & Publication
Git-like semantic versioning with immutable snapshots. CDN purges and search index updates happen atomically on merge.
API & Institutional Integration
RESTful and GraphQL endpoints designed for developers, LMS platforms, and enterprise knowledge workflows.
Retrieve verified articles, query the knowledge graph, or subscribe to content updates via webhooks. Supports bulk exports, semantic filtering, and role-based access control.
Security & Compliance
Enterprise-grade data protection, content integrity, and regulatory alignment.
Zero-Trust Access
mTLS between services, short-lived JWTs, and hardware-backed key rotation for all internal traffic.
Content Immutability
Blockchain-anchored article hashes for audit trails. Tamper-proof version history with cryptographic signatures.
GDPR / FERPA / CCPA
Automated data minimization, right-to-erasure workflows, and regional data residency routing.
AI Safety Guardrails
Input/output filtering, prompt injection detection, and human-in-the-loop overrides for sensitive topics.
Deployment & Observability
Continuous delivery, automated rollback, and real-time performance monitoring across global regions.
CI/CD & Rollback Strategy
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) manages multi-region deployments. Canary releases route 5% of traffic initially. Automated health checks and error-budget monitoring trigger instant rollbacks if SLOs are breached. Distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry ensures full request visibility.
