The Collab.codes runtime is composed from multiple projects and responsibilities.

This structure allows a client application to reuse a runtime foundation while keeping business-specific behavior in the right place.

Main parts

The reference composition includes:

• a client project;
• a common runtime;
• a master frontend;
• a master backend;
• a master configuration connecting those pieces.

Client project

The client project contains the application-specific module and business context.

In the current example, this is represented by the petshop application.

Common runtime

The common runtime provides shared contracts, utilities, and runtime primitives that should remain neutral from customer business rules.

Master frontend

The master frontend provides the opinionated frontend foundation.

In the reference example, this is Collab Aura.

Master backend

The master backend provides the opinionated backend foundation.

In the reference example, this is Collab Forge.

Customization principle

Aura and Forge are default choices, not mandatory choices.

The platform should allow master configuration, master frontend, and master backend to be customized when the customer needs a different foundation.
