Supporting infrastructure includes:

  • Celery Workers: Asynchronous execution of Prowler scans
  • Celery Beat (API Scheduler): Schedules recurring scans and enqueues jobs on the broker
  • Valkey: In-memory database serving as message broker for Celery workers
  • Neo4j: Graph database used by the Attack Paths feature to combine cloud inventory with Prowler findings (currently populated by AWS scans)
