Seven Planes
Vorantiq is organized along seven operational planes. Every subsystem belongs to one or more. The same vocabulary is used in source code, CODEOWNERS, runbooks, status documents, and customer-facing surfaces — so a reader can move between any of them without a mental-model change.
Identity Plane
Authentication, sessions, MFA, CSRF, RBAC, tenant boundaries.
Routing Plane
Provider routing, fallback, circuit breakers, model selection, cost estimation.
Execution Plane
Agent runtime, orchestration, workflow execution, DAG planning, memory cognition, tool dispatch.
Spend Plane
Billing, Stripe webhooks, subscription lifecycle, per-tenant cost governance, kill switch.
Audit Plane
Tamper-evident audit chain, compliance evidence, forensic reconstruction.
Control Plane
Admin, tenant management, platform-owner operations.
Data Plane
Database integrity, schemas, migrations.
Cross-cutting layers
Observability
Correlation IDs, distributed tracing, structured logs, metrics. Cuts across every plane.
Frontend / Public Surface
The customer- and visitor-facing presentation of the planes.
Infrastructure / Deploy
Substrate the planes run on — Vercel, Neon, GitHub, CI/CD.
