LuxEar Planned Data Architecture

New page

\== Lux-Ear Internal Wiki ==
\=== Page: Data Architecture ===

'''Overview'''
This page describes the proposed data architecture for Lux-Ear, leveraging Firebase to provide scalable, real-time infrastructure for kiosk scanners, customer-facing apps, internal tools, and cloud-based services.

\=== Architecture Diagram ===

\[\[File\:LuxEar\_Data\_Architecture\_Diagram.png|800px|center|thumb|Proposed Firebase-based architecture for Lux-Ear]]

\=== Key Components ===

* '''Firebase Authentication'''

* Authenticates users and devices (e.g., kiosk operators, customers, franchisees).
* Supports multi-platform logins and enforces secure, role-based access.

* '''Firestore (Cloud Firestore)'''

* NoSQL database used to store metadata for scans, kiosk statuses, user profiles.
* Real-time updates across web and mobile clients.
* Offline caching support for kiosk and mobile operations.

* '''Firebase Cloud Storage'''

* Stores large files including 3D ear scans, images, diagnostic logs.
* Access control rules tied to user or kiosk identity.

* '''Firebase Cloud Functions'''

* Hosts backend logic for events like scan upload, payment processing, and scan-to-CAD conversion.

* '''Firebase Hosting'''

* Serves static pages and web applications (e.g., Find a Scanner, Admin Dashboard).

* '''Analytics and Crashlytics'''

* Provides usage statistics, session tracking, and error diagnostics.

\=== Optional Extensions ===

* Google Cloud Vertex AI: AI-based modeling of ear shapes.
* BigQuery: Advanced analytics on scan volumes, locations, and trends.
* Stripe: Payment integration via Firebase Cloud Functions.
* AppCheck: Ensures requests come from verified app clients.
