Telemetry Plane

Collects, aggregates, and analyzes metrics, traces, and logs from all system components.

Data Collection

Lightweight agents deployed alongside RPC nodes emit structured telemetry including latency histograms, error counts, and resource utilization metrics.

Real-time Aggregation

Time-series database stores metrics with millisecond precision. Streaming aggregation provides instant visibility into system health.

Anomaly Detection

Statistical models and threshold-based alerts identify degradation early. Automatic incident creation with full context.

Control Plane

Manages configuration, policies, and orchestration. The source of truth for how your infrastructure should behave.

Policy Management

Define routing policies, health check parameters, and failover rules through declarative configuration with version control and audit trails.

Configuration Distribution

Changes propagate to Data Plane components in seconds. Safe rollout controls prevent cascading failures.

Audit & Compliance

Every configuration change is logged with attribution and timestamp. Full history with diff viewing and rollback capabilities.

Data Plane

Handles request routing, load balancing, and failover. Optimizes traffic flow based on real-time conditions.

Endpoint Scoring

Continuously evaluates endpoints based on latency, error rate, and policy constraints. Weighted scoring determines optimal routing targets.

Load Balancing

Multiple algorithms supported: weighted round-robin, least connections, latency-based. Automatic adjustment under load.

Automatic Failover

Instant traffic shifting when endpoints degrade. Circuit breaker patterns prevent cascade failures. Gradual recovery when health returns.

AI Plane

Claude-powered intelligence for diagnostics, incident response, and operational insights.

Incident Analysis

Correlates symptoms across telemetry streams to identify root causes. Compares with historical incidents to surface patterns and suggest fixes.

Runbook Generation

Automatically creates detailed remediation steps for recurring issues. Operators can refine and approve runbooks for future automation.

Operational Summaries

Daily and weekly summaries of system health, incidents resolved, configuration changes, and capacity trends. Executive-friendly reporting.
