MPS Talk Series 2021. Day 4
summary
MPS-based DSLs model municipal data as objects and activity workflows, plus a regulars layer that encodes laws, validation and jobs; the system imports Swagger APIs, enforces GDPR keys, and only activities may mutate objects. A web editing stack (MPSServer + WebEditKit, TypeScript + generated language facades) lets non-developers drag‑and‑drop and export XML; the project took ~2 years to first release with ~5 language engineers, ~20 devs and ~50 business users, and works but faces scale, sync and UX challenges.
