Deployment

Three ways to run it. One codebase.

The same data plane runs in our cloud, in your AWS, GCP or Azure account, or in your own data center. Only where it runs changes, so moving between them is a deployment decision, not a migration.

Why it works

The data plane only ever dials out.

Heighliner splits the control plane (fleet specs, approvals, the audit chain and the usage ledger) from the data plane (sandboxes, the scheduler and the gateways). The data plane connects outbound only, which is what lets it sit in our cloud, your account or an air-gapped site without code changes.

In BYOC, your buckets, databases and traces stay in your account. Only grants and audit metadata cross to the control plane. Read the glossary entry on BYOC.

Control plane

Fleet specs, run state, approvals, escrow outbox, audit chain, usage ledger

Managed data plane

Our cloud

BYOC data plane

Your AWS, GCP or Azure account

Self-hosted installs run both planes on your infrastructure, with an offline license file.
