Architecture

Experience Hoarder

The module that will be responsible for hoarding experiences from the portal. It will be a long-running process that will keep hoarding experiences from the portal and storing them in the database. Uses a self-hosted instance of GameTools API to hoard experiences. Has no public facing API, only internal API for the GameTools API to communicate with the database. Data stored in the database will be used by the Public API module to serve a REST API.

Terminology
