Understanding LykCloud Architecture

LykCloud is built on a distributed, multi-tenant architecture designed for high availability and low latency. In this post, we'll walk through the core components that make up the platform.

Control Plane ​

The control plane manages project lifecycle, routing, and configuration. It's responsible for:

• Processing deployment requests
• Maintaining desired state
• Distributing configuration to edge nodes

The control plane runs across multiple availability zones with automatic failover.

Data Plane ​

The data plane handles actual traffic routing. Each edge node terminates TLS connections and applies WAF rules before forwarding requests to your workloads.

Networking ​

All inter-service communication happens over a private mesh network. There are no public-facing ports except for the ingress layer.

Storage ​

LykCloud offers two primary storage tiers:

• Hot Storage: Low-latency block storage for databases and caches
• Cold Storage: S3-compatible object storage for backups and archives
