Following are the third-party services, backend components and frontend consoles used in the development of the EasyCLA tool.
Besides integration with the LFX platform and its underlying services, EasyCLA uses the following third party services:
for the CLA agreement e-sign flow
for converting CLA templates from HTML to PDF
for GitHub PR CLA authorization checking/gating
Gerrit for CLA authorization review checking/gating
Auth0 For Single Sign On
Salesforce through the LFX Platform APIs
supports two ways of registering your EasyCLA bot with GitLab :
Integrations: Navigate to Integrations tab of Project Settings. To have your EasyCLA bot listed under Add an integration section, you must create a MR (Merge Request) to GitLab's codebase, and get that accepted. The code must be written in Ruby.
Webhook : The other way of integrating your bot with GitLab is to add a webhook which will be called on certain events that happen in GitLab Project, such as opening MR (Merge Request). The webhook must respond in certain time frame. GitLab has a where you can interact with programmatically and add/edit/delete your webhook which can make the integration smoother from user point of view.
The EasyCLA tool has two backend components.
Python - some older APIs are implemented in python and can be found in the directory.
GoLang - Most of the backend development is implemented in Golang, and can be found in the directory. In particular, this backend contains APIs powering most of the v2 APIs which integrate with the LFX Platform (including Salesforce data), and the LFX platform permissions model.

The EasyCLA frontend consists of three independent Single Page Applications (SPAs) built with the framework:
for a project's director or manager (typically an LF staff member) to oversee the project's CLA setup. It is sometimes referred as the LFX Project Control Center in this documentation.
for a contributor to a project to sign an Individual CLA (ICLA), or to kick off the corporate CLA (CCLA) signature process.
for a company's CLA Manager to coordinate the corporate CLA signature process, and then to manage their company's authorized contributors.
