Overview
StrataGateway is being developed as a modern cloud infrastructure platform focused on performance, simplicity, transparency, and developer experience. The platform aims to provide compute, networking, storage, security, and developer tooling through a consistent, predictable interface.
This overview describes the intended architecture and operating model. StrataGateway is currently in development; capabilities described here reflect platform direction and may change before public availability.
StrataGateway is currently in development. APIs, services, regions, pricing, and SLAs may change before public release. Do not interpret this documentation as a claim of production availability.
Architecture
The platform is organized into logical layers that separate developer-facing interfaces from the underlying infrastructure. This separation enables independent evolution of developer tooling, control-plane services, and the underlying physical infrastructure.
Developer Interfaces
Dashboard, REST API, CLI, TypeScript SDK, Python SDK, Terraform Provider
Platform / Control Plane
Identity, resource lifecycle, provisioning, configuration, orchestration
Infrastructure Services
Compute, Networking, Storage, Security services exposed via the control plane
Operations
Monitoring, backups, service status, incident communication
Underlying Infrastructure
Compute nodes, network fabric, storage systems, facility partnerships
This layered model represents the intended platform architecture. Individual layers are at different stages of development; not all capabilities are available today.
Core Services
StrataGateway is being built around a core set of infrastructure services. Each service is designed to be independently operable and composable.
Cloud Compute
PreviewVirtual compute instances with configurable CPU, memory, and local storage.
Networking
PreviewPublic and private networking, firewalls, load balancing, IP management.
Firewalls
PlannedStateful firewall policies for inbound and outbound traffic control.
Block Storage
PlannedAttachable persistent volumes with snapshots and encryption.
Object Storage
PreviewS3-compatible bucket storage for unstructured data.
Backups
PlannedScheduled and on-demand backup and restore for compute and storage.
Resource Model
StrataGateway organizes infrastructure around a consistent resource model. Resources are identified by stable, prefixed IDs and belong to an account or project boundary.
Prefixes are illustrative and may change before public availability.
Compute
Cloud Compute provides virtual instances with configurable CPU, memory, and local storage. Instances are provisioned from official OS images and support SSH key-based access.
Development Preview
Cloud Compute is currently in preview. Instance types, regions, pricing, and APIs may change before general availability.
Networking
Networking provides public and private connectivity, firewalls, and IP management.
Storage
Storage services provide persistent data options for workloads.
Block Storage
PlannedAttachable volumes with snapshots and encryption at rest.
Object Storage
PreviewS3-compatible buckets for unstructured data and static assets.
Backups
PlannedScheduled and on-demand backup and point-in-time recovery.
Security
Security is integrated across the platform layers.
Developer Platform
StrataGateway provides multiple interfaces for automating infrastructure.
REST API
PreviewResource-oriented HTTP API with OpenAPI spec.
Authentication
PreviewBearer token authentication and service accounts.
CLI
PlannedTerminal-native workflows for automation.
TypeScript SDK
PlannedTyped client for Node.js and browser.
Python SDK
PlannedAsync client for Python automation.
Terraform Provider
PlannedDeclarative infrastructure as code.
Control Plane
The control plane coordinates provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle of all platform resources. It enforces policy, maintains resource state, and exposes the public API.
Operations & Observability
Operational tooling provides visibility into platform and customer resource health.
Regions & Infrastructure
StrataGateway plans to operate in multiple geographic regions. Region identifiers follow the pattern <city>-<number>(e.g., fra-1).
Region identifiers are illustrative. Actual availability depends on infrastructure readiness, operational validation, and capacity planning.
Service Lifecycle
Resources follow a consistent lifecycle from request to termination.
Lifecycle flow
Request
→ Validation & Quota Check
→ Provisioning (async)
→ Active (Running / Attached)
→ Monitoring & Management
→ Modification / Scaling
→ Deprovisioning / TerminationCurrent Development State
StrataGateway is actively under development. The table below summarizes the current status of major capability areas.
