Backend SDK

Developers enriching the User Experience for users of any application of the EY FE Portal might need to add services to the backend in order to allow more functionality on the frontned. Usually, user flows can be easily defined using Workflow Based Plugins as described in the previous chapter, but one may end up with the need to add functionality to the backend or a fully individual plugin is required with a sophisticated backend logic.

This is where Backend SDK comes into play.

Backend (Business) Services of EY FE Platform are built based on the Spring Boot Framework. Additionally, a variety of common functionality like (business related) logging, Open Telemetry and basic service bootstrapping is part of Backend SDK. This allows developers to get started quickly.

Additionally, part of Backend SDK is an OpenAPI based code generator that allows to create backend services based on an OpenAPI specification and directly integrates the generated service with the EY FE Platform Backend Core functionalities.
