JustPrison

National Justice System Integration Platform Production

⚖️ Project Overview

A sophisticated national justice system integration platform developed for the Belgian Federal Public Service Justice (FOD Justice). JustPrison serves as the central integration hub connecting multiple legacy justice systems, databases, and external services into a unified platform for prison management, case management, and inmate tracking across the Belgian justice system.

Multi-System Integration - Connects 15+ legacy justice systems and databases
Mission-Critical Operations - Manages prisoner data, case information, and justice procedures
Microservices Architecture - Scalable, resilient integration platform
Government-Grade Security - High security requirements for sensitive justice data
Real-Time Integration - Synchronization with multiple government databases
Automated Testing - Comprehensive Tracetest integration for continuous validation
Kubernetes Orchestration - Cloud-native deployment with Dapr orchestration
Cloud Infrastructure - Azure deployment with HSM security
