Archimedes NTUA ECE 2024 SaaS Project

Overview

Archimedes is an online platform designed to provide problem solving capabilities for users. The application is structured as a set of microservices, where each service is responsible for a specific task. These services communicate with each other via well-defined APIs, typically using HTTP or messaging queues. Docker containers are used to encapsulate each service, ensuring they run consistently across different environments.
