The frontend uses a webserver with a thread-pool to process and decode network I/O operations
concurrently. This then sends asynchronous messages to a worker (actor) pool for handing.

(2) These search messages in the actors are transformed into "events" - a self-contained structure

consistent and valid across the set of changes in the database. The most critical is memberof, which
generates reverse reference links from entries to their group memberships, enabling fast rbac
operations. These are done as post plugins because at this point internal searches can now yield and
