The digital twin of a city is a complex system that integrates data from multiple sources, ensures its semantic coherence, and provides tools for analysis and modeling. The digital twin platform of a city has an architecture where the core of the platform plays a central role, acting as a link element and integrating processing modules using an object-oriented approach. The article describes the architecture of a digital city twin based on a microservice model and modern data processing technologies. Key components are considered: the system core, processing modules, distributed data storage. Special attention is paid to the principles of scalability, interoperability and security. Examples of using Kubernetes for orchestration, a data bus for event management and a Saga-pattern for ensuring consistency are given.
