Building an open source government application platform in the cloud
summary
Altinn 3 is an open platform that runs agency apps as containers in Azure using Kubernetes, Docker, .NET Core, React and Helm, with CI/CD via Azure DevOps and images in per-agency container registries. The product is open source on GitHub and isolates each agency with its own cluster and storage; the studio provides an app template plus a React drag‑and‑drop form editor and local platform mock. Norway’s platform already serves 50+ agencies, 700+ services and 70M messages a year and went live with pilots this week, marked as a successful launch.
