Network Architecture

Core Topology

Multi-layered architecture optimized for read-heavy encyclopedia workloads with intelligent caching, vector search, and real-time synchronization.

Global Edge

CDN & Load Balancers

Anycast DNS with TLS 1.3 termination, WAF integration, and dynamic geo-routing to nearest edge cluster.

Cloudflare + AWS CloudFront TCP/UDP Multipath

Compute Layer

Microservices & Workers

Stateless API gateways, GraphQL federation, and WebAssembly workers for real-time content transformation.

Go / Rust / Node.js gRPC + HTTP/2

Data Layer

Storage & Indexing

Distributed document stores, Elasticsearch clusters, and Weaviate vector DB for semantic AI retrieval.

PostgreSQL + Redis Multi-AZ Replication

AI/ML Pipeline

Inference & Training

GPU-accelerated model serving for entity resolution, translation, and dynamic content summarization.

NVIDIA A100 Clusters vLLM + Triton

Auth & Identity

Zero-Trust Gateway

OAuth 2.1, mTLS service mesh, and hardware-backed key management for contributor & API access.

HashiCorp Vault SPIFFE/SPIRE

Observability

Telemetry & APM

Distributed tracing, log aggregation, and predictive auto-scaling based on traffic patterns.

OpenTelemetry Prometheus + Grafana

Request Lifecycle

How a knowledge query travels from client to response in < 50ms.

DNS Resolution

Anycast routes to nearest edge PoP. TLS handshake completes.

Edge Cache Check

CDN validates cached entry. If hit, returns immediately with ETag.

API Gateway

Rate limiting, JWT validation, and request routing to appropriate service.

Vector / Index Query

Semantic search resolves entities. Elasticsearch/Weaviate returns ranked results.

Content Assembly

Microservices fetch metadata, media, and translations. GraphQL merges payload.

Response Delivery

Compressed JSON/HTML streamed back. Edge cache populates for next request.

SLA & Infrastructure Metrics

Real-time telemetry across 42 global regions. Measured over rolling 30-day windows.

Uptime SLA

99.99%

Across all critical services

P95 Latency

🔑 mTLS Mesh

Developer API

Access the full encyclopedia via REST & GraphQL endpoints. Supports batch queries, streaming, and webhook subscriptions.

                        
// Retrieve article with semantic context
const response = await aevum.api.articles.get(quantum_computing, {
  include_vectors: true,
  language: en,
  cache_control: max-age=300
});

console.log(response.data.title);    // "Quantum Computing"
console.log(response.metadata.latency); // 42ms
