Navitia is made of 3 main modules:
- Kraken is the c++ core (Heavy computation)
- Jörmungandr is the python frontend (Webservice and lighter computation)
- Ed is the postgres database (Used for preliminary binarization)
Kraken and Jörmungandr communicate with each other through protocol buffer messages send by ZMQ.
