Odoo - Modified web architecture of the HR toolkit

In the previous essay, we talked about the product vision of Odoo. In this essay, we will elaborate on the architecture of the project and specifically the HR module. Odoo consists of a three-tier architecture1. This architecture divides the application into the following tiers (see figure below): The presentation tier, consisting of a user interface (UI) on the web The application tier, where logic of the application resides The data tier, where data is stored and managed.

The Highly Configurable Platform of Odoo

Enterprise resource planners (ERP’s) are known for their complexity and flexibility to fit the needs of possibly any company. Odoo does not deviate from this as they allow their users to fully configure what apps are ready to use. As this subject is very important for Odoo, we decided to discuss variability in detail. More specifically, we will investigate what configurability means for the platform and how it’s achieved. As with previous blog posts, we will be focusing on the core of Odoo and the HR toolkit where needed.

Odoo’s Take on Keeping a Massive Project Clean

The codebase of the Odoo platform is incredibly massive, sizing up to 1.3 million lines of code (calculated with cloc1, excluding POT files which are mostly translations), aggregated since 2005. Keeping this code clean is a difficult task, especially since it’s written mainly in Python and Javascript—languages that do not offer so much compile-time checking as C# or Java for example. In this article, we investigate how Odoo controls the project to keep its quality high.
