Building Blocks

Building blocks (BBs) are software modules that can be deployed and combined in a standardized manner. Each building block is capable of working independently, but they can be combined to do much more. Read the full definition in the GovStack Specifications.

What do we use to build it?

The Building Block Software are build based on various different software stacks. Please visit the respective documentations for more insights.

Building Block Software has been selected through a public tender procedure. Each software is one possible solution to fulfilling the Building Block Specifications. The selection is no recommendation.
