Why Mosaic?

Axinom Mosaic is a lean, extensible core that handles what every backend needs: user access, one management UI, messaging between services, and hosting. It also gives you a proven way to build your own services on top. Start from our open-source media services or your own code, plug in managed services such as Image Service, DRM, and Encoding, and stay in control of what you build. API-first and built on microservices, it scales with you.

The Mosaic Core

At its core, Axinom Mosaic consists of three services. On top of this foundation, your team builds and combines the services that fit your media workflows.

  • Identity Service: Login through any OpenID Connect or OAuth 2.0 provider, one access token, and roles and permissions managed centrally.
  • Management System: One UI for editors and operators, assembled from the microfrontends of all connected services.
  • Microfrontend Service: Hosts and serves each service’s UI per environment.

Underneath, RabbitMQ messaging connects services synchronously and asynchronously, and the Hosting Service deploys your custom services.

API-First Design

Mosaic prioritizes APIs as the central focus of development. Every functionality of Mosaic available through UI is equally accessible via the API, ensuring consistency and flexibility. Services can also communicate both synchronously and asynchronously, with both communication methods natively.

Build on Top, Not from Scratch

Mosaic provides the core; your team builds the services. Start from Axinom’s open-source templates with reusable backend and frontend libraries, extend our open-source media services, or connect existing third-party systems. Everything shows up in one management system.

Unified User Experience

Consistent and seamless interface across the management interface and services. Editors and users interact with a cohesive UI where design elements and functionality are harmonized. This approach minimizes friction, reduces the learning curve, and enhances the overall experience.

UI/UX Concept

Mosaic comes with a consistent UI/UX concept covering workflows, interaction patterns, and visual style across all services. Once users are familiar with one service, they can navigate any other without additional training.

The same consistency benefits development. Rather than reinventing elements, interfaces, and controls for every new service, developers can rely on a comprehensive library of reusable UI components and patterns. This significantly reduces the time and effort needed to build new services while ensuring they feel native to the Management System from day one.

Extensible by Design

Custom services start from Axinom’s base template with reusable backend and frontend libraries and documentation, so they are built from a solid starting point rather than from scratch.

Mosaic Agent Skills brings AI-assisted development directly into the workflow. Available as an MCP server, it works with tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to generate code that follows Mosaic conventions, while your developers keep control over what gets built.
