What is DeDOC?

DeDOC (Document Decomposer) is an open-source system for extracting structured information from documents. Unlike simple parsers, DeDOC provides enterprise-grade document processing with support for complex layouts, tables, hierarchical structures, and metadata extraction across multiple document formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, etc.).

Enterprise Document Processing at Scale

DeDOC enables organizations to process millions of documents with consistent structure extraction, maintaining document hierarchy, relationships, and metadata while supporting batch processing, real-time streaming, and distributed deployment patterns.

Key Capabilities

  • • Structure-aware document parsing
  • • Hierarchical content extraction
  • • Table detection and extraction
  • • Metadata and annotation preservation
  • • Multi-format support (20+ formats)
  • • RESTful API with async processing

Production Benefits

  • • 10,000+ documents/hour throughput
  • • 95%+ structure preservation accuracy
  • • Horizontal scaling with Docker
  • • Fault tolerance and retry logic
  • • Comprehensive monitoring
  • • Integration with major cloud platforms

DeDOC Architecture Components

DeDOC's modular architecture enables flexible deployment patterns from single-server installations to distributed cloud deployments with automatic scaling and fault tolerance.

Core Processing Engine

Document Readers

Format-specific parsers for PDF, DOCX, HTML, TXT

  • • Native format understanding
  • • Metadata preservation
  • • Error handling & recovery

Structure Analyzers

Hierarchical structure detection and classification

  • • Heading hierarchy detection
  • • List and table identification
  • • Reading order determination

API & Orchestration Layer

RESTful API

High-performance async API with job queuing

  • • Async job submission
  • • Status tracking & webhooks
  • • Rate limiting & authentication

Task Queue

Distributed job processing with Redis/Celery

  • • Priority-based scheduling
  • • Retry logic & error handling
  • • Horizontal worker scaling

Storage & Caching

Document Storage

Scalable storage with S3/MinIO integration

  • • Object storage integration
  • • Temporary file management
  • • Compression & archival

Result Caching

Intelligent caching with Redis for performance

  • • Hash-based result caching
  • • TTL management
  • • Cache invalidation strategies

Production Deployment

Deploy DeDOC in production with Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestration, and comprehensive monitoring for enterprise document processing workflows.

Production DeDOC Service

Microservices Integration

Build scalable document processing microservices with DeDOC, supporting distributed architectures, service mesh integration, and cloud-native deployment patterns.

DeDOC Microservices Handler

Performance Monitoring

Implement comprehensive monitoring for DeDOC systems with metrics collection, alerting, and performance optimization for production workloads.

Production Best Practices

✅ Do

  • • Implement circuit breaker patterns
  • • Use async processing for large files
  • • Set up comprehensive logging
  • • Monitor memory usage per worker
  • • Implement graceful degradation
  • • Use health checks for containers
  • • Cache frequently accessed documents

❌ Don't

  • • Process very large files synchronously
  • • Skip input validation and sanitization
  • • Ignore memory leaks in long-running workers
  • • Use blocking I/O in the API layer
  • • Store sensitive data in logs
  • • Deploy without proper error handling
  • • Neglect worker resource limits

Scaling Strategies

Horizontal Scaling

Scale DeDOC workers horizontally with Kubernetes HPA based on queue length and CPU utilization. Each worker handles 10-20 documents concurrently.

Resource Optimization

Optimize memory usage with document streaming, temporary file cleanup, and worker process recycling. Use GPU acceleration for OCR-heavy workloads.

Geographic Distribution

Deploy DeDOC clusters across multiple regions with document replication and intelligent routing for low-latency global document processing.
