Microservices - also known as the microservice architecture - is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which implement business capabilities. The microservice architecture enables the continuous delivery/deployment of large, complex applications.

Bahmni has a micro service architecture : Bahmni Services.

The different services are packaged as RPMs. Here is the list of all the RPM's:

  • atomfeed-console.noarch
  • bahmni-emr.noarch
  • bahmni-erp.noarch
  • bahmni-erp-connect.noarch
  • bahmni-implementer-interface.noarch
  • bahmni-installer.noarch
  • bahmni-lab.noarch
  • bahmni-lab-connect.noarch
  • bahmni-openmrs.noarch
  • bahmni-reports.noarch
  • bahmni-web.noarch

Code for packaging the services as RPMs is here: https://github.com/Bahmni/bahmni-package. Bahmni Package picks up artifacts of repositories (like bahmni-core, bahmniapps, ...) and packages them as RPMs.

Details of what each RPM contains : (Note: Git links are accessible if you open the Gliffy in full screen mode)

As Bahmni has a microservice architecture, one could choose install only a subset of these services depending on the use case. For example if a hospital only has only clinical and pharmacy and does not have laboratory to perform tests, they can install only those components. Please refer the steps here to install on a subset of above services.
