SUMMARY — Technical Architecture

Technical Architecture in the Canadian Civic Context

The topic "Technical Architecture" within the CanuckDuck forum refers to the design, structure, and operational framework of the platform itself. As a civic infrastructure project, it focuses on how digital systems are built to support public discourse, data management, and community engagement in Canada.

Why We're Sharing This

Most platforms treat their architecture as proprietary secrets. We're taking a different approach. CanuckDUCK is civic infrastructure—you deserve to understand how it works, where your data lives, and why we made the choices we did.

This is a living document. As we grow, it evolves.
