Architecture at a Glance

The whole platform on one page. Read it bottom-up: a cloud foundation, a Kubernetes cluster, a declarative control plane, the tenancy model, the agents that run on and operate it, delivery, and the edge — with security/compliance spanning the left and observability the right, and a data & resilience strip underneath. Everything is git-driven and reconciled.

The refplat architecture on one poster. Seven layers, bottom to top: foundation (AWS Organization, IaC, network, state), cluster (EKS, Cilium, Karpenter), the declarative control plane (Crossplane, Argo CD, Kyverno, Argo Rollouts), tenancy (Team → Product → Service → Environment), agentic (the XAgent runtime, autonomy ladder, triage copilot), delivery & DX (Backstage, supply chain, promotion), and the edge (Gateway API, ingress). Security, compliance, and identity span the left as a cross-cutting band; observability spans the right; a data & resilience strip (CloudNativePG, backups, reproducible-from-git) underpins the foundation. Key flows across the bottom: the GitOps loop, the paved road, the supply chain, agent provisioning, incident owner-routing, and the data plane.
