SIRIUS was originally created to be the core of highly scaleable web based SaaS applications. While this is still one of its main use cases and the driver behind many of the frameworks being developed, it also found its use in several other software projects.
Therefore SIRIUS is split into a set of distinct modules. The main objective is to minimize the dependencies required by a module and thus by an application which ues one or more SIRIUS modules.
To further increase the control of what is running within SIRIUS, some modules are split into several frameworks which can be enabled or disabled independently. Especially sirius-biz makes heavy use of this as it provides quite a range of functionalities for several different databases.
As SIRIUS can be used from simple CLI projects up to full blown SaaS application clusters, it is split into several modules which each bring their of set of capabilities and dependencies.
The kernel module bundles common helper classes along with the central dependency injection microkernel. It tries to maintain a minimal set of runtime dependencies to make it universally usable.
The web module provides a HTTP server based on netty. It also contains our modern and statically checked template engine Tagliatelle which is heavily used in our web based applications. Furthermore a layer above Javamail is provided to simplify sending mails.
More about the module can be found on GitHub: scireum/sirius-web
The database module takes care of accessing different databases. Currently JDBC, MongoDB, Elasticsearch and Redis are supported. For all three a low-level interface is provided which supports ease of use with next to none performance implications. Additionally Mixing, out next-gen ORM/Entity Mapper provides simple and efficient access to the databases using Java classes.

The "biz" module is the foundation for building web based applications. Thus it combines the power of sirius-web with sirius-db. Furthermore it provides heaps of functionalities and frameworks like a mulit tenant user management or a log framework (for system-, change- and security logs).
Additionally a cluster management layer (using Redis) is provided which supports cache coherence, distributed task queues and the like.

SIRIUS can be started as standalone application (using the Setup class). To provide a defined environment, this repository yields a Docker image which contains a bootloader and the appropriate JDK to run a SIRIUS based application.
More about the image can be found on GitHub: scireum/docker-sirius-runtime.
Contains a Docker image which is be used to build SIRIUS modules or SIRIUS based applications. This can be used for Docker based CI systems (like Drone).
More about the image can be found on GitHub: scireum/docker-sirius-build.
Our OpenSource effort doesn't stop here. We provide additional libraries which are also itself used by SIRIUS.
parsii is still one of the fastest expression parsers and evaluators (written in Java - without compiling to bytecode). We used it in Tagliatelle to compile Java like expressions in templates.
More about parsii can be found on GitHub: scireum/parsii.
Provides a server sided compiler for translating SASS expressions to CSS. This is used by sirius-web, which provides automatic translation for SASS templates.

SIRIUS isn't just used in our closed source products. Some of them are OpenSource and therefore good examples of how to use SIRIUS for production quality applications.
Provides a mock for the Amazon S3 API. We use s3ninja in all our development and test setups so that our unit tests to crush our AWS bill. Of course s3 ninja is also available as Docker image.

We built our own CRM system which does everything from managing contact data to accounting and lead management. This effort is made available for everyone to be used or - even better - to be cutomized and fine tuned.

SIRIUS itself provide quite some capabilities to read / write and convert huge XML, CSV or XLS files. Sometime this functionality comes in handy when working which such files. Therefore *Datadonkey makes them available via simple JavaScripts.
More about Datadonkey can be found on GitHub: scireum/datadonkey.
