Scaling Grid Security With Open Source
summary
Legacy monolith gives way to a modular pipeline that decouples business logic, presentation, and user interaction and uses standard cloud events and calculation requests to trigger work at scale. Calculation engine is PowSyBl wrapped by ReFlow so components remain replaceable; decision support is a separate Nexus layer. Runtime drops from ~25 minutes to about 10 seconds, enabling 15‑minute intraday N‑1 runs, independent scaling on Kubernetes/S3/Postgres, and an inner‑source, reusable capability model.
