Open source Digital Public Infrastructure, DPI is the leading approach for lowering the barrier of digital transformation for governments in the global south and boosting inclusive socio-economic development.
Lower technical skills, heterogeneous digital infrastructure and fragmented digital sovereignty significantly hinder the adoption and scalability of critical public services like OpenCRVS, a project for civil registration and vital statistics.
Learn how a Kubernetes based architecture addresses these challenges, using OpenCRVS as a case study to demo a shift from inefficient, manual deployments with artisanal scripts to an out-of-box and automated process while reducing the resource footprint. Explore the practical strategies employed to optimize and deploy OpenCRVS in a heterogenous air-gapped environment, reducing development and deployment times from months to days while enhancing security and maintainability. The lessons we gleaned are recommendations for DPIs in general.
