Just received my first payment — £280 direct to my account. No escrow, no waiting. The client approved my AI workflow automation deliverable this morning. This is real.
The Rietaviškis Architecture Explained in Plain English — What Would You Change?
Post 4 in our community series — this one is for everyone, not just the engineers.
The Recommended Technical Architecture document (pinned in this group) outlines how the Rietaviškis platform is built. Here is a plain-English summary:
1. Frontend: A React-based web app with a mobile-first design. Users interact with it on any device.
2. Backend: A Node.js API layer that handles authentication, data queries, and AI agent calls.
3. AI Layer: Two protocols in use — MCP for tool connections (e.g., querying the city database) and A2A for agent-to-agent task delegation.
4. Data: A hybrid database — PostgreSQL for structured records, vector database for AI semantic search.
5. Verification Engine: Every completed sprint generates a timestamped, immutable proof-of-work record.
The architecture is designed to scale from one city to many. But the question is: what is missing?
💬 If you were a user of this platform — a student, a mentor, or a sponsor — what feature would you want to see first?
