Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for allocating server application logic across multiple tiers of a server system are described. In one aspect, a method includes hosting a server application on multiple servers. The servers include an application server deployed in a secure tier of an enterprise network and an edge server deployed in an edge tier of the enterprise network. A primary firewall isolates the secure tier from the edge tier and from a public network. A secondary firewall isolates the edge tier from the public network. The edge server is configured to receive requests for services provided by the server application, to perform a first subset of the services, and to relay a subset of the requests to the application server. The requests received by the edge server are sent from at least one client device through the public network and authenticated by the secondary firewall. The application server is configured to receive the relayed subset of requests and perform a second subset of the services in response to the relayed subset of requests. The relayed subset of requests received by the application server are authenticated by the primary firewall.
