Architecture Overview

🧩 Architecture Overview

Ridy follows a microservice-based, API-first architecture designed for scalability, modularity, and ease of integration into broader ecosystems like BetterSuite.

🔁 Core Architecture

• API Layer: GraphQL (type-safe, developer-friendly, used across all clients)
• Backend Stack: Node.js microservices (e.g., user service, trip service, payment processor)
• Frontend Clients: Flutter apps (Driver & Customer), web-based Admin Panel
• Authentication: JWT-based user authentication
• WebSocket Support: Real-time updates via GraphQL subscriptions (graphql-ws)

🗺️ Third-Party Integrations

• Maps: 5 options available through the in-house generic_map Flutter library
• Payments: 22 payment gateways integrated into the standalone Payment Processor microservice
• Messaging: 8 SMS providers integrated into the backend (selectable via config)
