How the data is stored

The microservices are communicating with each other using the pub/sub from Redis, for each type of communication a different channel will be used.
3 channels

• SystemAccount_Channel
  • Publisher: Onboardings Module
  • Subscriber: SystemAccounts Module
• Leave_Channel
  • Publisher: Onboardings Module
  • Subscriber: LeaveBalance Module
• Onboarding_Channel
  • Publisher: SystemAccounts Module, LeaveBalance Module
  • Subscriber: Onboardings Module

Publis code

var modelAsString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(model);
_pubSub.Publish("channel_name", modelAsString);

Subscribe code

connection.GetSubscriber()
    .Subscribe("channel_name", (channel, message) =>
    {
        // DO something
    });
