Server architecture

Overview

The CloudBeaver server is a Java application. It is based on the OSGI framework and utilizes several Eclipse bundles.

Important

CloudBeaver includes OpenJDK, which is an open-source version of Java. This means you do not need to purchase a separate Java license to use CloudBeaver.

Back-end parts depend on DBeaver.

DBeaver is a multiplatform desktop application. It is also based on OSGI/Eclipse. CloudBeaver uses a "headless" part of it - everything related to database connectivity and project management.

Libraries

  • Equinox as OSGi container.
  • Eclipse Platform for virtual file system and plugin management.
  • Jetty as a web server.
  • Java GraphQL as a front-end communication API.
  • DBeaver as database management platform.
  • Various 3rd party bundles with database drivers
