CEF Core is built on an open ecosystem of trusted technology providers and financial services partners. Together, we deliver a secure, compliant, and powerful platform for church extension funds.
The foundational technologies that power the CEF Core platform, selected for reliability, security, and performance in financial services environments.
Database Infrastructure
PostgreSQL 16 provides the ACID-compliant relational foundation for all financial data. With 101 tables across 16 schemas, it delivers the transactional integrity required for double-entry accounting, loan servicing, and regulatory compliance.
Bank Feed Integration
Plaid powers the automated bank feed integration, enabling real-time transaction import, account verification, and balance reconciliation. Connect to over 12,000 financial institutions across the United States.
SSL/TLS Certificates
Automated TLS certificate management ensures all data in transit is encrypted with industry-standard protocols. Certificates auto-renew with zero downtime, maintaining continuous security coverage for all client connections.
Caching and Rate Limiting
Redis provides sub-millisecond session management, rate limiting with token bucket algorithms, and caching for frequently accessed data. Password-protected and configured for maximum memory efficiency in financial workloads.
Runtime Environment
Node.js 20 LTS powers the backend with TypeScript strict mode, Express.js routing, and the modular subledger architecture. Long-term support releases ensure stability and security patches for production financial systems.
