Building open digital infrastructures for public health
summary
GA‑Lotse is a modular, federated public‑health platform started 2021 with development from late 2023, funded at 24 million euro budget, built to run on‑prem or in cloud and already adopted by Hesse with Bavaria talks underway. Architecture uses Kubernetes/OpenShift + Keycloak + Matrix, a service‑mesh, a central “Stam” converter for once‑only base data, and strict privacy/security‑by‑design. Procurement embeds open‑source experience, testing and documentation as scoring criteria; code is dual license: Apache‑2 for core and copyleft for health content modules.
