Kuali Financials: Open Source and AWS Implementations
Kuali Financials has been designed with open-source technologies at its core. We've chosen to leverage the Amazon Web Services (AWS) versions of specific architecture and infrastructure components to support the unique needs of hosting complex software at scale.
We fully recognize and support the needs of customers who opt for self-hosting with the base, open-source versions of these essential technologies.
Base Versus AWS Versions
To provide a bit of context, here are the AWS-provided services that we’re currently using and their open-source equivalents:
- AWS Aurora: A MySQL-compatible, relational database engine with AWS-specific performance and scaling enhancements.
- Amazon Corretto: A certified distribution of OpenJDK, optimized for AWS platforms.
- AWS ElastiCache for Redis: A fully managed in-memory data store, compatible with Redis, offering powerful, in-memory caching with seamless scaling.
These AWS-managed services are built to be fully compatible with their open-source counterparts while offering advantages in management, scalability, and support.
