Provide ability to deploy all backend APIs as separate application

[paullizer]

Overview

Enhance scalability and performance by deploying backend APIs as separate applications. This involves extracting key backend functionalities—such as Chunking and Embedding—into standalone services and evaluating additional APIs that can be moved from the existing monolithic structure to an external App Service.

Feature Scope

1. Develop and Deploy Backend Services

   • Extract and deploy Chunking and Embedding as independent backend applications.
   • Ensure these services can be managed and scaled separately.

2. Evaluate Additional API Candidates

   • Identify other backend APIs that could benefit from being externalized.
   • Prioritize APIs that are resource-intensive or require independent scaling.

3. Improve Scalability and Maintainability

   • Enable independent scaling of backend services based on demand.
   • Simplify updates and deployments by modularizing backend components.

Implementation Considerations

• Use Azure App Service or Kubernetes-based deployment for modularity.
• Ensure APIs remain accessible via existing authentication and routing mechanisms.
• Monitor and test performance improvements after migration.

This feature will help optimize system performance and ensure the backend is more scalable, resilient, and maintainable.
