I’m sharing the high-level architecture behind a UnifiedPBX platform designed for modern VoIP, Contact Center, and Unified Communications workloads.

The architecture is structured across multiple layers:
🖥️ Presentation Layer — React PWA for Admins, Agents, Call Control, and Real-time Analytics
🔐 API Gateway — JWT authentication, request routing, and rate limiting
⚙️ Microservices — User Management, CDR/Billing, Campaign & Application Control, and Call Control
📞 Telephony Integration — Dedicated services for both Asterisk (AMI/ARI) and FreeSWITCH (ESL/Event Socket)
🗄️ Data Layer — PostgreSQL for persistent data, Redis for real-time state and caching, plus file storage for recordings and logs
☎️ Telephony Engine — Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, SIP Trunks, and VoIP providers such as Twilio

The goal is to keep the platform modular, scalable, multi-tenant ready, and telephony-engine agnostic, allowing different services to evolve independently while maintaining centralized control and observability.

This approach provides a foundation for building:
• Cloud PBX
• Contact Center / CCaaS
• UCaaS
• WebRTC Calling
• IVR & ACD
• Outbound Campaigns
• Real-time Agent Monitoring
• CDR, Billing & Analytics
• AI Voice Agent integrations

The future of communications platforms is not just a PBX—it is an API-driven, event-driven, cloud-native communications ecosystem.
