Frontend Plugin Framework. A framework that allows dynamic configuration and injection of custom widgets onto web frontend experiences. These frontend customizations are configured by users (e.g., course teams) without the need for operational changes to the platform instance (i.e., no backend installations or updates are required). Possibly implemented in relation to LTI. (2 squad-months)
Platform Frontend API FrameworkAPIs. An API abstraction layer externally exposed from the monolith platform that enables more rapid frontend development of platform features. Possibly implemented using GraphQL. (framework: 2 squad-months, 1 squad-week per API)
Platform Backend API FrameworkAPIs. API abstraction layers (in Python) internally within the monolith that enable sustainable maintenance of Backend Plugins. (framework: 2 squad-months, 1 squad-week per API)
(Real-time) Eventing API FrameworkAPIs. Standardized event-driven APIs that provide learning events to permitted external services as described in OEP-26. (3 squad-months, includes base TNL events listed in the OEP)
Data Reporting API FrameworkAPIs. API abstraction layers externally exposed from data-marts (downstream of a data warehouse) that provide domain-based data. For example, data about users, courses, and enrollments. These may be in the form of batch asynchronous reports. (framework: 2 squad-months, 1 squad-week per API)
xBlock v2 Framework. Redesigning and updating the xBlock framework so it is further advanced to the latest technological trends in frontend development and supports offline mobile use cases. Possibly implemented based on learnings from the Frontend Plugin Framework implementation. (4 6 squad-months)
Frontend Replatforming Completion. The edX architecture team developed the infrastructure and runways to separate the frontend from the complex core in modern frontend technology (our React-based micro-frontend re-platforming effort). While we rewrote a few existing pages to this new model, to feel the full impact of this effort, we need to complete the re-platforming effort and remove the old frontend technologies from the core. (3 squad-years?)
