# High level overview

### Typical auth request overview
The following diagram describes a typical request to the /auth endpoints.
### Typical monitor request overview
The following diagram describes a typical request to the `/monitors` endpoints.
### JobQueue
The heart of this application is a `JobQueue` class that wraps a BullMQ `Queue`. \
\
A `Monitor` is considered a job, when one is created it is enqueued in the `JobQueue`.\
\
Jobs are handled by a pool of workers in the `JobQueue` and their tasks are executed in the order in which they are enqueued.\
\
Workers are scaled up and down based on the jobs/worker ratio as jobs are enqueued and dequeued.

### SSL
SSL is handled by LetsEncrypt and Certbot. This works by Nginx and Certbot sharing the same volume where the certificates are held. The following snippet from the docker-compose.yaml file shows how this works.\
Please see [this guide](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/letsencrypt-docker) for more information on this setup.
