In this section, we outline the system architecture using ER Diagrams, Software Component Diagrams etc. and key libraries / frameworks used in this project.

Software components used

The following is a list, with brief descriptions, of the key components used in creating this platform. Please refer to their individual documentation for in-depth technical information.

Logo	Name	Notes
	Django	Django makes it easier to build better web apps more quickly and with less code.
	Backbone JS	Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
	Docker	Accelerate how you build, share, and run applications. Docker helps developers build, share, and run applications anywhere — without tedious environment configuration or management.
	Celery	Celery is a simple, flexible, and reliable distributed system to process vast amounts of messages, while providing operations with the tools required to maintain such a system. It’s a task queue with focus on real-time processing, while also supporting task scheduling.

	Django Rest Framework	Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
	MapLibre	Open-source mapping libraries for web and mobile app developers.
	PostGIS	PostGIS extends the capabilities of the PostgreSQL relational database by adding support storing, indexing and querying geographic data.
