Overview
This section is designed for developers who intend to integrate eva, and infrastructure technicians who intend to install or give maintenance to your eva server system. You may go straight into your required subsection, but we encourage you to fully understand all of the presented subsections below.
eva's platform is based on a microservices architecture and every component has its Rest APIs. A basic understanding of this architecture helps understand the APIs and the content on the next chapters.
The Broker is the orchestrator of the solution. It is responsible for receiving the information needed to execute a conversation. Its API is the one called when a channel receives a message from the user.
Also, it is responsible for calling NLPs dynamically, depending on which NLP was selected by the user in the Cockpit, and for calling external services when these are registered in the Cockpit through the webhook fields.
The main database, which is used by the Broker, is a MySQL database that contains all configuration made through the Cockpit as well as data generated through conversations by the Broker.
Another important component is the Dialog Manager, where you can build and manage the virtual agent conversation flows. This module has its own NoSQL database, for a better performance of the virtual agent. All conversation flows created in the Cockpit are stored in this MongoDB.
The extraction details explained in the following chapters will detail only the MySQL database, since it contains the conversation logs.
If you are here to integrate eva with your custom services and channels, or export/import virtual assistants, you may follow this link:
If rather than an eva cloud service you require an eva server service, the following infrastructure guides will help you to install eva and help you understand it's installation structure in order to give maintenance:
