Architecture​

Architecture

The Astro Platform architecture, depicted in the image, highlights the core components and their interactions. At the heart of the platform is AstroPlane, a Kubernetes controller responsible for continuously monitoring running clusters and applications. This ensures that the desired state of applications, as defined in various sources such as images, Helm charts, private repositories, or YAML resources, is maintained in the git repository. AstroPulse provides users with the flexibility to register and manage satellite clusters, enhancing both flexibility and security. The platform integrates seamlessly with GitHub, using webhook events to trigger actions based on pull request merges. Users interact with AstroPlane through a CLI, which communicates via WebSocket, HTTP, or gRPC REST protocols.

The architecture supports deploying clusters and applications to various environments, including user-provided clusters or accounts (BYOC/BYOA) and managed Kubernetes clusters across major cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure. This unified interface simplifies the complexities of deployment and management of cloud-native applications, allowing developers to focus on business logic while AstroPulse handles the operational intricacies.
