SmartSlim Enterprise

The distributed compression platform for teams. Microservice architecture, every major file format, cloud-native deployment, full data sovereignty.

Product Overview

A multi-user compression platform built for enterprises and public sector teams

SmartSlim Enterprise is a distributed compression platform for organizations that move documents at scale. Its microservice architecture drives our proprietary Rust compression engine and handles 80 file formats across 11 categories. Out of the box, you get user management, usage-based metering, real-time progress updates, and monitoring with alerting. Deploy with Docker Compose or Kubernetes, on mainstream Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu) or in a fully sovereign, on-premises environment.

Five-Layer Architecture

cleanly separated, each layer doing one job well

Frontend Layer

Nginx serves the user portal (/user) and admin console (/admin), giving your team a web interface and a full task management dashboard.

API Gateway

An async FastAPI service that handles authentication (JWT), rate limiting, input validation, and request routing in one place.

Business Logic Layer

Async task queues, user management, usage metering and billing, plus WebSocket services that push progress to every connected client.

Compression Engine

Our proprietary Rust engine delivers high-performance compression for 80 formats across 11 categories.

Data Layer

MySQL (application data) · Redis (caching and message broker) · MinIO (S3-compatible object storage for uploads and compressed output).

Core Capabilities

Everything an enterprise compression platform needs, built in

Live Progress Updates

WebSocket connections stream compression progress straight from Redis Pub/Sub to the browser. No polling, no refresh — users see status the moment it changes.

JWT Authentication

Industry-standard JWT tokens secure every request, while passwords are stored using hardened hashing algorithms. Strong security without the performance tax.

Prometheus + Grafana Monitoring

Request counts, latency, and job volumes are collected out of the box and visualized in Grafana, so you always know how the platform is performing.

Rate Limiting

Time-windowed rate limits per IP or per user protect the platform from abuse and keep noisy clients from degrading service for everyone else.

Every Format You Use

80 formats across 11 categories: images, PDF, video, audio, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OFD/XPS, 26 text types, EPUB/EML, and industry & scientific data such as DICOM.

Built-In Metering & Billing

A built-in metering service tracks daily traffic and compression jobs per user, and pairs with subscription plans for easy chargeback.

Docker Compose: One compose file orchestrates all 9 services — database, cache, API, async workers, monitoring, and frontend — with data persisted in named volumes.
Kubernetes: A complete K8s deployment with autoscaling driven by CPU and memory utilization, plus Ingress configured for large file uploads.

Sovereign Deployment, Standard Hardware

Runs on mainstream Linux — or fully air-gapped in your own data center

Category Supported Options
Databases PostgreSQL, MySQL 8.0
Message Brokers RabbitMQ, Redis Pub/Sub
Operating Systems Mainstream Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu)
CPU Architectures x86_64 (Intel/AMD), ARM64 (aarch64)
Licensing: SmartSlim Enterprise uses offline license-key activation. Each key encodes the license type, validity period, and feature entitlements, and is verified entirely on your server — no internet connection required. See the security architecture for details.
