Aesel Components
================

:ref:`Go Home <index>`

Aesel is not actually a single program, but a number of programs all running independently
and communicating with each other.  This allows for built-in redundancy to achieve
both high-availability, and scalablity to respond quickly to large changes in volume.

Below you can find the components that comprise the Aesel Architecture:

Adrestia
--------

Adrestia acts as the HTTP Gateway for external clients into Aesel.  It abstracts
away the various clusters of event-based components into a single transactional
plane for both users and other services to utilize.

Kelona
------

Kelona stores graphics assets, and tracks various versions of those assets over
time.  Effectively, it acts as a Version Control System for large-scale, binary files
for large-scale userbases.

-------------
