ECO Portal Modernization

A standardized, scalable, and decentralized digital ecosystem for Program Operators and stakeholders.

Digital Strategy

The ECO Portal is evolving to accommodate the growing volume of EPDs and Program Operators (POs). Our strategy shifts from a monolithic, software-dependent model to an API-spec-first and decentralized architecture.

This modernization is driven by the need for greater ownership and flexibility. By decoupling the data from the portal software, we empower POs to manage their own infrastructure while ensuring the ECO Platform remains scalable and robust. An API-spec-first approach ensures that technical implementation details don't become barriers to data exchange, allowing for a more resilient and interoperable ecosystem.

For a detailed technical overview and integration requirements, please refer to the Program Operators Guide.

Ownership

Choice of software shifts to POs, ensuring ownership, long-term flexibility and stability.

Standardization

An "API-Spec-First" approach with clear JSON schemas to remove ambiguity for developers.

Scalability

A robust API Gateway architecture designed to handle increased traffic and EPD volumes.

Implementation Roadmap

1

API Specification

Defining the "PO-to-Portal" and "Portal-to-User" contracts. Creating a consistent technical framework for existing and new PO nodes to follow, reducing integration barriers.
