Atualização do backend do sistema Open Social Care: migrando da arquitetura Serverless para uma API em Laravel

Abstract

Open Social Care is a system for registering social services, designed to help social workers better manage their work and to be free and open to use. Its initial prototype was developed using a cloud infrastructure, which was initially interesting for use by social workers, but limited in terms of actual use, as well as being designed to be used only in penal institutions. Therefore, this project proposes replacing this infrastructure in order to improve the efficiency and scalability of the system, as well as proposing a form of generalization so that the application can serve institutions other than the Penal Service.The new infrastructure will be developed on the basis of an API to be robust and flexible, allowing different stakeholders, be they penal institutions, non-profit organizations or other social service providers, to access and manage care records more effectively. In order to address broader scenarios, the API is designed to facilitate maintenance and customization. Thus, the development of the API will be a significant step towards improving the Open Social Care system, aiming to serve dif ferent institutions in a more efficient and versatile way, contributing to the provision of social care.
