[DMP 2024]: Mojafos Version 2 - DaaS providing deployable package of Mifos/Fineract, Mojaloop and Payment Hub EE DaaS

[DavidH-1]

Ticket Contents

Description

Mifos & Fineract integrated with Mojaloop via Payment Hub EE provides a end to end open source architecture for a building a complete digital financial services solution including managing wallets and stores of value In Mifos and Fineract to orchestrating and initiating real-time payments via the Mojaloop APIs throught Payment Hub EE orchestration engine.

However, it takes significant time and effort to deploy and install each of these individual components which are comprised various microservices and libraries and dependencies. This presents a steep barrier for fintechs and financial institutions to evaluate and discover the potential of this powerful stack. This project aims to maintain and enhance this deployable package, Mojafos. A major focus in this second year will be storyboards to help an individual developer rapidly deploy this end to end environment. Each of the various individual solutions/projects have a number of different options available to ease deployment into the cloud including infrastructure as code, docker images, helm charts, terraform scripts, etc.

Recently Carnegie India published a white paper outlining a new approach for rapid global adoption of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) - DPI as a Service or DaaS model. Mojafos fits squarely into that deployment approach as it bundles together multiple DPGs into a deployable package that streamlines the deployment process.

Goals & Mid-Point Milestone

Goals

• [1] [Update Mojafos to deploy latest version of Mojaloop]
• [2] [Update Mojafos to deploy latest version of Fineract]
• [3] [Update Mojafos to deploy latest version of Mifos X Web App ]
• [4] [Update Mojafos to deploy latest version of Payment Hub EE]
• [5] [Improved resource consumption of Mojafos Deployable Package
• [6] [With upgraded versions and improved consumption of resources, Mojafos should be closer to production-quality]

Setup/Installation

Expected Outcome

In 2023, GSOC inten, Elijah Okello created a deployable package, Mojafos, that incorporates the various components of the end to end stack - Mifos/Fineract, Mojaloop, Payment Hub EE, Mifos Channel App (mobile wallet/mobile banking) Initial deployment would target Azure but a bonus goal would be to make it cloud-agnostic.

Expected outcome for the second version of Mojafos is to continue optimizing its deployability, upgrade to current stable versions of the DPGs contained, optimize resource consumption and extending the storyboard of use cases that can be supported. The initial version was only a proof of concept so the second version would be intended for production-level deployments, aligning this with the vision of DPI as a Service (DaaS)

Latest stable release of Fineract core banking system (1.9 or current)
Latest stable version of Mojaloop (vNext)
Latest stable release of Mifos X Web App (23.12 or later)
Latest upstream version of Payment Hub EE
Storyboard/Cookbooks for standard use cases in the form of BPMN diagrams.

Hi @elijah0kello @tdaly61, I would like to work on this project. My tech stack includes core Java, spring boot, JPA. Is there any smaller issue to work on this first?

Hi @elijah0kello @tdaly61 My self Nitish Malang, I had successfully completed GSoC 23, where I worked on the project "Memory allocation in facet redundancy removal in dingo" for GeomScale's Python package dingo, I have gained valuable insights into optimizing memory allocation and improving runtime performance. This project aimed to enhance the preprocessing of metabolic networks with dingo, significantly improving efficiency and allowing for the handling of larger networks in Systems Biology.

In addition to my GSoC project, I had also done some personal projects, including "Streamlining Continuous Integration and Deployment with Jenkins" and "Automating Infrastructure: An Exploration of Ansible Playbooks in Action". I have a strong foundation in Linux and extensive experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI. Currently, I am diving deeper into Kubernetes & learning Golang

Apart from that I have also been selected for summer of bitcoin this year
With a passion for DevOps practices and a track record of delivering high-quality projects, I am eager to contribute in this project
