The Genesis low-code platform has a collection of access control mechanisms to ensure that:

The Genesis Platform supports the use of Apache Camel in order to integrate with external systems, using its plethora of components.

A Consolidator exists to aggregate data or perform calculations whenever the underlying data is changed.

Introduction

For examples on applications using data pipelines, please see the following How To... pages:

Genesis Data Pipelines enable you to stream data into and out of your Genesis application. If you are looking to integrate your application with an external database or file system, this module should be your first consideration.

There are two important files in your application that contain configuration information:

Data Servers monitor specific tables or views in the database. When a change in data occurs, the Data Server sends the updates to all its subscribers.

The GenesisToDb module enables you to stream data from the Genesis low-code platform to classic RDBMS databases, such as Oracle or MSSQL.

Cron rules (static events)

It is often useful to run tasks periodically - for example to schedule the production of EOD reports, or to send a warning when a defined limit is reached. For such purposes, the Genesis low-code platform provides a feature called the Evaluator.

Introduction

Our FoundationUI libraries can be used on their own to build web sites and applications, but they are also designed to be used in combination with a wide variety of existing technologies. This section of our documentation is dedicated to helping you get FoundationUI working with your existing or preferred stack.

If your application needs to integrate with external systems through a gateway, you need to be able to interpret incoming messages in the format of the external system. Equally, you need to be able to reformat information from your Genesis application when you send messages out to that system.

Console enables you to monitor your application with precision, enabling you to see individual processes, resources and data. You can view logs for each process, insert data, control logging levels, monitor CPU and memory usage, and examine the code of specific processes.

You can run a full Genesis application in a self-contained Docker container. There are two simple ways:

The Genesis HTTP Client is designed to simplify integration with external REST services in the Genesis Platform. It provides an intuitive DSL for making HTTP requests, so that you can integrate Request Servers and Event Handlers with external applications.

The Genesis Platform Abstraction Language (GPAL) is a set of custom Kotlin script definitions that enable you to quickly stand up Genesis services at speed. The scripts also provide a consistent functionality set with the same look and feel throughout.

Use cases

Project structures

What is the Genesis platform?

A micro front-end is a collection of components that meet common requirements.

In this area, we'll look at the network messages that are used for front-end and inter-process communications.

Open API support was introduced in version 7.0 of the Genesis platform.

Using Genesis Data Pipelines often requires some set-up/configuration of your external database. You must ensure that databases are correctly configured for Change Data Capture (CDC). Each database technology is slightly different and will therefore require slightly different set-up instructions.

CDC capabilities are only supported by Oracle Enterprise edition. Ensure that your Oracle instance is the Enterprise version before continuing.

You can run our Quick Start from a lightweight set-up. However, to set up a full-functioning developer workstation, you need to check out the hardware and software requirements in this section. This will get you fit to do some serious work.

The very simple application you will build will look like this:

Let's make things really simple.

The Genesis low-code platform automatically exposes all the resources you have configured as REST endpoints via the Genesis Router. Unless configured otherwise, all requests require a valid SESSIONAUTHTOKEN HTTP header. A SESSIONAUTHTOKEN is retrieved after successful user authentication.

Some files are essential to the development and running of your application. You need to know what they are for and how to configure them. The pages in this section provide the details.

One of the key things you need to define in your data model is the various states that your financial entities (such as orders or trades) can go through - for example, new, amended, completed or cancelled.

Ideally, an automated pipeline such as a github workflow should be put in place to build, test and deploy the front end every time the master or develop branches are updated.

Default web-server set-up

To perform a manual deployment, you will have to:

Once you have the Genesis low-code platform, you can develop and deploy your own applications at speed, from the simplest of internal systems to complete exchanges.
