Modular Design
Modular Design
Components are designed to be generic and modular. This modularity allows for updates or changes in one part of the system without necessitating a complete overhaul, enhancing maintainability and efficiency.
Scalability
Scalability
The architecture allows for horizontal scaling, particularly in the API layer, to handle increased load without stressing the Odoo systems.
Decoupled Workers
Decoupled Workers
Odoo workers are decoupled from the Odoo server, providing the flexibility to integrate other platforms for backend jobs in the future.
Integration Layer
Integration Layer
A separate external layer handles all integrations, allowing teams to build and manage necessary connections with other systems independently.
Security
Security
Enhanced security measures are enforced at the API layer to ensure that only authorized systems can submit forms and access data.
Guiding Principles
Participant-First Approach
Focus on participant needs when designing all aspects of the system, including what volunteers need to help participants.
Simple and Clean Experience
Ensure the system is intuitive and easy to navigate, requiring minimal orientation for new internal users.
Stability & Scale
The system should be able to scale up while staying stable and performing reliably.
Technology Stack

Celery/Python
Sample Data Flow
1
Program Setup in Odoo
Business team configures programs (forms, flows, fields) in Odoo, and the data is stored in PostgreSQL.
2
Pushing to Cache
Once saved, the form configurations are cached in Redis, reducing database queries and speeding up access.
3
Fetching Configurations via API
When a user accesses the registration form, the API retrieves the configuration from Redis and sends it to the frontend.
4
Rendering the Form
The frontend dynamically renders the form using the JSON configuration, providing a flexible and responsive interface.
5
Form Submission
Users fill out the form and submit it. The submission is sent to the API, with security measures like authentication for private APIs and WAF for public ones.
6
Data Saved to Database
The API processes the submission, storing basic info in PostgreSQL tables and dynamic responses as JSON.
7
View Registrations in Odoo
Program teams can immediately access submissions in Odoo and perform necessary actions.
8
Delayed Tasks via Workers
Tasks like sending confirmation emails or updating external systems are handled by Celery workers asynchronously.
9
Connected Apps
Other apps (e.g., MyMedic) use the same API to render forms and manage registrations.
