Platform Model
Understand AutoCore as a configurable, edition-aware vehicle marketplace platform.
AutoCore is a configurable vehicle marketplace platform. It is delivered as a controlled installation rather than as an undocumented hosted service. The platform combines a public marketplace, authenticated administration, a versioned API, and background processing around a durable relational data model.
The model in one view
| Layer | Responsibility | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Shared platform | Common contracts, domain services, security, and application boundaries | Listing validation and API response shapes |
| Edition | Branded materialization and explicit capability defaults | AutoCore international identity |
| Installation | One database-backed product/data boundary | Initialization and provider configuration |
| Primary market | Market context used by validation and presentation | Country, city, currency, timezone, units |
| External services | Operator-supplied dependencies | PostgreSQL, Redis, search, storage, email, payments |
Commercial 1.0 boundary
One installation has one primary market in the current commercial boundary. The platform models future categories and provider abstractions, but a schema enum or planned adapter is not proof of activation. The current release is a commercial release candidate, and external legal, payment, storage, email, monitoring, and deployment arrangements remain installation responsibilities.
