Squirro is built as a service-oriented platform. All services work as self-contained units of functionality and therefore are suited for different scenarios. Squirro can match small but also complex and large-scale requirements. All Squirro services communicate via RESTful API. The Squirro API is open and allows for 3rd party integration for all services and functionality.

...

All non-Squirro components are open source components.
