Server Roles and Jobs

EmpowerID microservices are specifically designed to perform distinct functions. The EmpowerID UI and Worker containers are more versatile and can be configured to host particular jobs and API endpoints in any given installation. This is especially crucial for on-premise installations of EmpowerID, but it remains valuable knowledge for SaaS deployments as well. The following information applies exclusively to the UI and Worker role containers. In the on-premise deployment model, the UI container role is referred to as Front-End servers, while the Worker container role is known as Back-End servers.

Key points

  • In the EmpowerID ecosystem, each UI or Worker container is assigned a "Role" based on the designated jobs and web services (REST API endpoints) it will support.

  • UI containers mainly host the Web Services that support workflow processes and the UI web user interface.

  • Worker containers primarily host the Server jobs that facilitate long-running security, data synchronization, and automated policy-based processes.

  • For load balancing and failover purposes, all jobs and web services can operate on multiple containers simultaneously.

 

Each UI or Worker container can only be assigned one server role
