Trust & Service Architecture
Public ingress, private operations, identity policy, service planes, data boundaries, automation, and recovery foundations.
Architecture Library
The system behind the systems.
This overview shows how TekForge separates public access, private administration, identity policy, service workloads, protected data, automation, and recovery. It focuses on the engineering decisions that make the environment understandable and supportable.
Architecture map
The current model shows the major trust paths, service boundaries, and recovery foundations that shape the environment.
Trust & Service Architecture
How public traffic, authenticated administration, identity policy, service planes, and platform recovery fit together.
Public request path
Cloud filtering, TLS ingress, and deliberately exposed services.
Private operations path
Authenticated administration, automation, deployment, and management surfaces.
Policy and protected state
Identity, segmentation, access decisions, and scoped data services.
What the diagram communicates
The model emphasizes explicit trust, controlled access, separated responsibilities, and recovery as part of normal design.
Trust is explicit
- Public requests and private administration follow separate paths
- Identity and authorization decisions occur before protected services
- Network segmentation limits what each class of device can reach
Recovery is part of the design
- Automation and observability support repeatable operations
- Data services remain separate from public presentation layers
- Backups, power-loss behavior, and restore validation are treated as architecture
Supporting design records
The diagrams are the overview. These writeups capture the judgment, operating principles, and failure-response thinking underneath them.
Identity-first foundations
Why identity, boundaries, and attribution are treated as architecture rather than application settings.
