Core Concepts
Service Types
Mosaic uses a microservice architecture with three types of services:
| Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Managed Services | Developed & operated by Axinom (SaaS) | Image, Video, DRM |
| Customizable Services | Open-source, use as-is or customize | Media, Catalog, Entitlement |
| 3rd Party Services | Your own or vendor services | Integrate via standard APIs |
Core Services handle platform essentials: orchestration, identity, authentication, authorization, and reporting.

Management vs Provisioning
Mosaic separates concerns into two sides, optimized for their specific needs:
Management Side
- Content editors & preparation workflows
- Unified UI via Management System
- Complex business rules & publication workflows
- Microfrontend architecture
Provisioning Side
- End-user facing APIs
- Optimized for high load
- CDN-ready
- Frontend-focused data structures

Service Communication
Services communicate through well-defined, strongly-typed interfaces:
- Synchronous: GraphQL APIs
- Asynchronous: RabbitMQ (commands & events). Learn more
All communication uses the same authentication/authorization layer with users, service accounts, and roles.

Environments
Mosaic is multi-tenant. Each tenant can have multiple isolated environments, each a complete, self-contained instance with its own management and provisioning side:
- Fully separate databases and message queues
- Independent user & service account sets
- No data sharing between environments
This is ideal for dev/staging/production separation.
Environments are not publication targets. Each environment is a complete, isolated system.
Media Template Services
The Mosaic Media Template includes these customizable services:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Media Service | Manage metadata for movies, TV shows, streams with image/video workflows |
| Catalog Service | Expose media catalogs to frontend apps |
| Entitlement Service | Handle video playback entitlements & DRM license exchange |
| Channel Service | Curate channels and playlists |
| VOD-to-Live Service | Generate live streams from playlists |
