Backend Technical Architecture Overview

Mimic: Multi-Tenant Streaming & Interaction Platform

Backend Technical Architecture Overview

1. Introduction

Mimic is a multi-tenant social networking platform designed to support business and event discovery, user interaction, live streaming, and task coordination. The platform integrates real-time communication, persistent data storage, and third-party services to deliver scalable, reliability-sensitive features across multiple tenants.

The backend architecture emphasizes separation of concerns, fault isolation, and scalability, while supporting real-time workloads such as live streaming and messaging alongside transactional operations such as wallet management and notifications.

2. Purpose of This Document

This document was created to:

• Clearly establish backend service responsibilities and boundaries
• Decompose application logic into independently scalable components
• Document architectural decisions and their trade-offs
• Serve as a reference point for future system evolution and academic discussion

The backend scope aligns with the Software Requirements Definition (SRD) and covers all functional and non-functional requirements defined for the system.

3. High-Level Architecture

Architecture Style

• Microservices-based architecture
• Services communicate over well-defined APIs
