Glossary
Our repositories, tickets and Slack channels are full of names that mean nothing from the outside — some Finnish, some codenames, some abbreviations nobody expands any more. This page is the decoder.
One line each. Where a name maps to a repository or a page, follow the link rather than expecting the detail here.
Umbrella names
Section titled “Umbrella names”| Term | Means |
|---|---|
| AJOMARK | Alma Mobility Marketplaces — the business unit, the GitHub organisation, and the main Jira project key. |
| Alma Mobility Marketplaces | The same thing in prose. What this site is titled after. |
| NettiX | The marketplace platform and brand family the netti* verticals share. Also the name of the legacy technical estate. |
| Mobility One / M1 | The next-generation platform replacing the NettiX estate. Confluence space MONE, repositories prefixed m1-. |
| AJO | Finnish for drive. Prefixes shared mobility services (ajo-event-relay, ajo-kisu-api) and the ajomark.dev domain. |
Marketplace verticals
Section titled “Marketplace verticals”| Vertical | Sells | Served by |
|---|---|---|
| Nettiauto | Cars | nettix-web |
| Nettimoto | Motorcycles | nettix-web |
| Nettivene | Boats | nettix-web |
| Nettikaravaani | Caravans | nettix-web |
| Nettikone | Heavy machinery | nettix-www |
| Nettivaraosa | Vehicle parts | nettix-www |
Which vertical runs on which codebase is not uniform, and the split moves as verticals
are ported from nettix-www to nettix-web. This is the page that owns that mapping —
Hostnames repeats it per hostname, and the
repository map has the repositories themselves.
Products and services
Section titled “Products and services”| Term | Means |
|---|---|
| OmaAjo | “My drive” — personal vehicle management for consumers. The repository is my-vehicles. Subdomain oma. |
| Viestit | Finnish for messages. The messaging service, subdomain viestit. The repository is inbox. |
| NettiXPro | The professional/dealer product. Its repositories are the aso-* family, owned by the nettixpro domain team. |
| ASO | The prefix on those repositories. Treat it as “the NettiXPro estate”. |
| Autotalli | Finnish for garage. A separate marketplace with its own Java stack and Jira project (AT). |
| Baana | Finnish (Helsinki slang) for track or lane. Our consumer-to-business (C2B) auction site — Jira project AJOC2B. Autohuuto is the business-to-business one, and is not ours. |
| TEHO | Finnish for power or output. Our customer webstore and self-service purchasing tool, at teho.nettix.fi. The repository is nettix-webstore. |
| Rekkari | Finnish slang for a registration plate. The vehicle information service. |
| Maksuportaali | Finnish for payment portal. Lives in maksuportaali. Not the same as alma-pgw, the escrow service below. |
| alma-pgw | The Alma Payment Gateway — the escrow payment service behind fiksut kaupat. Escrow means a third party holds the funds until the sale completes. Its own organisation. |
| Fiksut kaupat | Finnish for smart sales. Escrow-backed vehicle transactions, settled through alma-pgw. |
| Hinnoittelu | Finnish for pricing. The pricing tool (hinnoittelutyökalu), subdomain hinnoittelu. The repository is pricing-tool. |
| Hinta-arvio | Finnish for price estimate. Price estimation for listings. |
| Hakuapuri | Finnish for search assistant. The semantic search API — maintained in the almamedia organisation as mobility-semantic-search-api. |
| Kumppanisisällöt | Finnish for partner content. Paid article content for advertisers, at nettiauto.com/kumppanisisallot/. The kumppanisisallot-cf-worker Cloudflare Worker serves it from a WordPress site. |
Alma Mobility beyond Mobility Marketplaces
Section titled “Alma Mobility beyond Mobility Marketplaces”We are Mobility Marketplaces. Systems & Insights is the other unit inside Alma
Mobility, and Netwheels is theirs. These names turn up in tickets and in the
almamedia organisation, so they are worth recognising — but their systems are not
ours to document.
| Term | Means |
|---|---|
| Netwheels | A Systems & Insights business, not ours. Joined Alma Media in 2024. Its products sit on netwheels.fi and are listed publicly at almamobility.fi. |
| GT-X | A Netwheels dealer tool. Named here only because its repository, almamedia/GT-X, turns up when you search the almamedia organisation. |
| Autohuuto | Finnish for car auction. A business-to-business vehicle auction, on the Systems & Insights side. Not the same thing as Baana. |
| MAJO | Alma Media’s internal vehicle-data service. We consume it; we do not own it. |
Codenames
Section titled “Codenames”| Codename | Means |
|---|---|
| KISU | The SageMaker model behind personalised vehicle recommendations, served by ajo-kisu-api. |
| SPEDE | Custom-Built Standardized Protocol for Evaluation, Discrimination, and Engagement — ML-assisted user trust scoring and behavioural analysis. |
| NERO | Neural Engine for Registration Obfuscation — blurs registration plates in listing photos. |
| Ecto-1 | The Slack bot and changelog pipeline that turns a release tag diff into a readable changelog entry. See how CI runs across our repos. |
| FECS / BECS | Frontend and Backend Counter Service — the two halves of counter-service. |
| Sammio | Alma Media’s shared data platform. Mobility feeds into it from the almamedia organisation. |
| Tankki | Finnish for tank. Our data store within Sammio — the Mobility unit’s own. Reporting on it is ajo-tankki-reporting in the almamedia organisation. |
Jira projects and Confluence
Section titled “Jira projects and Confluence”Project keys are decoded on Jira and Confluence, which is the page that owns that mapping — including what each key covers and which Confluence space goes with it.
MONE is the one worth knowing here, because it names two things: the Mobility One Jira project, and the Confluence space for people, process and ownership.
When to file in Jira rather than open a GitHub issue, and what each Confluence space holds, is in Jira projects and Confluence spaces.
Platform and technical terms
Section titled “Platform and technical terms”| Term | Means |
|---|---|
| APIv2 | The current internal API generation, consumed through m1-api-client. |
| Atlas | The database-as-code tool used in m1-atlas. Not AWS, not Mongo Atlas. |
| Alma Tunnus | Finnish for Alma account. Alma-wide SSO for end users, provided centrally. Unrelated to AWS SSO. |
| AWS SSO | IAM Identity Center, how engineers get into AWS. See Configure AWS SSO for the CLI. |
| Trafi | The Finnish vehicle-data API (the agency is now Traficom, the integration kept the old name). |
| Scorecard | OpenSSF Scorecard, the supply-chain score per repository, published at scorecard.ajomark.dev. |
| safe-chain | Aikido’s supply-chain guard for package installs, applied on CI runners via setup-ci-runner. |
| Domain team | A github-iac grouping of repositories and people — marketplaces, m1-platform, baana, and so on. See the GitHub organisation model. |
| ADR | Architecture Decision Record, kept in the repository it affects. Indexed in the decision index. |
| Vertical | One marketplace brand. Contrast with tenant, which is how a shared codebase serves several verticals. |
