RCI V15 HIGH-AVAILABILITY PLATFORM

Engineering the platform for safer releases, resilient services and global scale.

V15 builds above V14 with Redis/session readiness, cache abstraction, transactional outbox delivery, signed webhooks, protected object storage, deployment channels, tenant-level rollouts, worker heartbeats, incidents, public status, maintenance controls and executable platform self-tests.

PLATFORM ENGINEERING

Release safely. Process asynchronously. Observe continuously.

Redis ReadyCache and PHP session target when explicitly configured.
Transactional OutboxQueue integration events before network delivery.
Signed WebhooksTimestamp + HMAC delivery with private-network protection.
Object StorageProtected local objects with S3-compatible target architecture.
Release ChannelsDevelopment, pilot, canary and stable records.
ObservabilityIncidents, worker heartbeats, health API and public status.

Maintenance Switch

A file-backed maintenance flag can move incoming traffic to a proper HTTP 503 maintenance response while leaving the public status route available.

Tenant Rollouts

New capabilities can be piloted with specific institutions rather than enabled globally at once.

Worker Heartbeats

Background workers publish their last-seen time so failed or stale processing becomes visible.

Migration Runner

MySQL/MariaDB deployments can apply versioned SQL migrations with transaction rollback on failure.

Platform Self-Test

An executable CLI test checks storage, cache, release manifest and required PHP extensions before deployment.

Global Fresh Deployment

V15 continues release-specific hashed assets and a release manifest to prevent old front-end assets being silently reused.

The next constraint is no longer features—it is reliability.

RCI can continue adding educational and commercial capabilities, but V15 deliberately concentrates on how those systems are released, monitored, recovered, integrated and scaled.
