Enter the Sandbox

Test and Learn the GovStack Approach using our Sandbox

The GovStack Sandbox is a demonstration environment for digital teams from governments and service providers to learn and test how to practically implement the GovStack approach.

Social Cash Transfer Tech Demo

Demonstrating the GovStack architecture and all stack layers

Construction Permit UX Demo

Demonstrating service design, UX/UI BB usage and mobile first approach

Do It Yourself

Protoype your own use case with different supporting assets

Technical Stack

Learn about our implementations on all architecture layers

Design Methodology

Learn about best practices on UX and Frontend design

You might also enjoy our GovStack Simulation making the Building Block approach tangible for less tech-savvy users.

Sandbox Value Proposition

Learn about one possible implementation of the GovStack Specifications

In the Access Demo section, Explore Stack section and our GitHub repositories, you can dive step-by-step deeper into the technical implementation details.

• Access our demo implementations

  • Social Cash Transfer Use Case - a technology demo showcasing Building Block architecture

  • Construction Permit Use Case - a UX demo showcasing the methodology from service design to frontend development

  • High School Certificate Use Case - a methodology demo showcasing the usage of service design templates

• Explore the Sandbox architecture and how the stack layers are build

• Read about the Digital Public Infrastructure & Goods (DPI/DPG) we procured and customized from the open market

• Examine our code repositories and developer documentation containing: cloud infrastructure configurations; CI/CD pipeline configurations; Helm charts; RPC layer for rapid prototyping; Building Block Emulator examples and many more.

Prototype with reusable assets to create your own use cases

Re-usability as one of GovStack's core principles, let us to develop all assets under Open Source licence and as much as possible as a generic implementation to be re-used for new use case prototypes.

• Follow our service design best practice to implement according to the GovStack Playbook

• Use our ready-made figma templates for user journeys and service blueprints

• Rapidly develop frontend prototypes with the dynamic RPC backend

Replicate stack components to freely explore and change

The full admin access enables you to, for example, access all admin panels, change data or API calls, integrate new Building Blocks.

• DIY-Package "Light" of Social Cash Transfer Use Case to deploy a prototype comprising the Building Block architecture with lightweight emulators

• DIY-Instructions "Full Stack" of Social Cash Transfer Use Case

Customize to your own needs local context

A customized version of the sandbox can take various forms and typically involves a software developer team. Possible customization projects could be: (a) providing mainly infrastructure and DevOps components to standardize deployment and configuration of Building Block software from your local GovTech companies or (b) recreating the full stack with different use cases and Building Block software.

GovStack Sandbox Short Description

The design of the GovStack sandbox encapsulates the business logic and data necessary to represent multiple GovStack capabilities such as APIs, Building Blocks, use cases and transaction flows. This helps developers and digital government agencies to achieve a more holistic view of the GovStack approach.

The fully operational environment offers a comprehensive API that public and private agencies can use to mimic the characteristics exhibited by the GovStack Specifications. Therefore, it offers an environment on a real-time basis to help simulate responses from all the systems an application interfaces with. This especially enables digital government players to experiment with innovative GovTech products or services within a well-defined space and duration.
