Containers, Cloud, AI production scale, and more

We've accompanied our clients on this journey, providing them with cutting-edge tools and capabilities while reducing their total cost of ownership and speeding up their operations. Facets cater to a wide range of clients, from those with 50 million to those with less than 100,000.

The Facets clients, regardless of their size, benefit from technology such as:

Cloud: 

The most recent Facets generation was created in and for the cloud. We don't use the cloud as an add-on; it's our primary development environment. Facets have been designed to take full use of cloud computing's scalability and flexibility. However, because we are vendor-neutral, our clients may use any public, private, or hybrid cloud environment, as well as a combination of on-premise and cloud.

Containers: 

Using container technology, we keep Facets light and portable. Our cloud-ready containerized runtime provides excellent user experiences, accelerates development, and reduces costs by making effective use of computational resources.

Top 50 frequently asked Facets Interview Question and Answers

Machine learning and Artificial intelligence

Facets were developed with AI and machine learning capabilities to automatically offer insights to clients based on their system's huge data repositories. System health, user performance disparities, and real-time support to service agents as they interact with members are all examples of insights.

Fundamentals of production

Facets have demonstrated their ability to produce outcomes in real-world, high-demand production situations on a multichannel, 24/7 basis. Furthermore, we run Facets through a series of performance tests using a setup that is representative of a big customer. Through a technological stack intended for intelligence, scalability, and accuracy, we gain the power and dependability to process tens of millions of transactions each day.

Facets' technological stack combines cutting-edge technology with industry best practices. This stack is used to build each Facets module, resulting in highly responsive single-page apps.

How are Facets created in the ARCSS stack?

  • Angular TypeScript-based open-source web application platform is used as the foundation for single-page applications.
  • RESTful architecture pattern using the stateless protocol and standard operations, contributing to the highly responsive single-page applications and runtime engine.
  • C++ Complex mission-critical applications require mission-capable technology, so all of Facets' heavy computing is done in a C++ high-performance natively compiled business runtime engine. This is key to how Facets scales.
  • SQL-based RDBMS such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Exadata, or Oracle Enterprise.
  • Streaming is accomplished with a high-performance NoSQL format. This strategy supports Facets' event-driven architecture and ability to subscribe to IoT data streaming patterns. Facets may bring in events through REST APIs to fuel applications within and outside of Facets with data.

Runtime in containers

We use containers for our runtime services because they provide the best flexibility and performance. We've implemented the industry's most advanced container orchestration solution. To control cost and security, our containerized runtime may make use of features like auto-scaling and the usage of policy settings to govern resource utilization.
