Hosting and Customizing Mentor
The Mentor capability is enabled by the Mentor microservice which can be set up in any cloud environment or in an on-premise setup.
In addition, system administrators can also set up a reference implementation (Progressive Web App or PWA) and customize the look and feel based on the needs. See Customize the PWA to learn more.
Other services such as User, Notification, Scheduler, and BigBlueButton are optional. The Mentor service can work with one or more existing implementations of the same.
