Architecture

This page provides a detailed overview of Squad Aegis architecture with visual diagrams to help understand the data flow and component interactions.

System Overview

Squad Aegis follows a modular architecture where different components interact through well-defined interfaces. The system is designed to be extensible through plugins while maintaining a stable core.

Event Flow

Events are at the heart of Squad Aegis. The event system follows a publish-subscribe pattern, allowing components to emit events that other components can react to.

Component Architecture

Core Components

The core of Squad Aegis consists of several managers that handle different aspects of the system.

Plugin System

The plugin system allows for extending functionality without modifying the core codebase.

Database Architecture

Squad Aegis uses two database systems: PostgreSQL for relational data and ClickHouse for analytics.

Data Flow

This diagram shows how data flows through the system from various sources to the end user.

Plugin Data Flow

This diagram illustrates how data flows through a plugin from receiving an event to taking actions.

Deployment Architecture

Squad Aegis is designed to be deployed using Docker containers, making it easy to set up and maintain.

Development Considerations

When developing for Squad Aegis, keep these architectural principles in mind:

1. Event-Driven Design: Most functionality is triggered by events. New features should integrate with the event system.

2. Modularity: Keep components modular and with well-defined interfaces.

3. Plugin Extensibility: When possible, implement new features as plugins rather than modifying core code.

4. Scalability: The system should handle multiple servers and high event volumes efficiently.

5. Security: Be mindful of security considerations, especially in the RCON and API components.

By understanding these diagrams and principles, developers can effectively contribute to and extend Squad Aegis.
