Abraxas Informatik AG creates an audit-proof long-term archiving system for its customers with around 400 million documents. However, the underlying archiving system was getting on in years, had a difficult to maintain infrastructure and proprietary interfaces.
Since migrating to a cloud-native archiving system, Abraxas and its customers have benefited from technical freedoms that did not exist before: With the help of flexible and developer-friendly technology, the company creates customized systems that are optimally integrated into existing processes and software landscapes.
On behalf of the Federal Government, the German National Library is obliged to collect and archive all German publications from 1913 onwards – today and in the future. The amount of data generated is very hard to imagine and is constantly growing. Theoretically, the archiving system must therefore be infinitely scalable.
The solution was found in a granular architecture based on microservices. The new archiving system is elastic on all levels: it grows automatically with the number of documents to be managed as well as the number of users.
Since there were already systems in place for the management of library metadata and full-text searches, these should remain in use. This made the interfaces particularly important. The new archiving system was seamlessly integrated into the existing system landscape via a REST API.
