### Components

#### DID Auth Proxy

The DID auth proxy provides an authorization server and an `nginx` instance to allow applications to integrate the Energy Web DID solution into any RESTful API service without changing its source code.

#### Master Data and Message Metadata Storage

#### Large File Storage

#### NATS JetStream

JetStream is a built-in persistence engine for NATS which enables messages to be stored and replayed at a later time. Messages can be captured and replayed to consumers as needed.
