The Recruitment Automation Portal facilitate information exchange between Students, Companies, and Placement Office for smooth conduction of placement and internship drives of IIT Kanpur.
This repository contains the backend code for the portal. The frontend code can be found here. The portal is hosted at https://placement.iitk.ac.in.
The portal is built using golang and postgresql. The architecture of the portal is that of a microservice architecture. The portal is divided into multiple services, each of which is responsible for a specific task. Since the current setup is entirly on one machine, the services communicate with each other using IPC once they are shifted to distributed machines gRPC can be used. The portal uses a nginx reverse proxy to route requests to the appropriate service. 😄
The five services are:
- Auth Service
- Student Service
- Company Service
- Recruitment Cycle Service
- Application Service
Hence five diffrent databases are used. The databases and users are created automatically using the script at container/init.sql. The database schema is defined in the model.go folder of each service.
The code for the portal exposes nine port corresponding to the nine sub services. The nginx reverse proxy is configured to route requests to the appropriate service.
The routing can be found in the container/nginx.conf file.
The mail service is provided by IITK mail servers. Google calender IDs to sync portal events with calender are generated from spo web team Gmail ID. The credentials are stored in the secret.yml file.
