Infrastructure plan

From proven MVP to enterprise-ready platform

A focused 8-week programme hardening security, adding full observability, and automating deployment — without rebuilding what works.

Priority areas
P1
Phase 1 · Weeks 1–2 · Highest priority
Security & compliance hardening
Rate limiting Audit trail AI safety
▼
Per-client rate protection
Prevents any single client from overwhelming shared infrastructure, ensuring consistent service for all.
Tamper-proof audit trail
Compliance records become append-only and anchored on blockchain — meeting regulatory evidence requirements.
AI output validation
Every AI-generated workflow is validated against a permission schema before execution. No hallucinated or out-of-scope actions.
Scope enforcement
Clients can only access modules included in their plan tier — enforced at the technical level, not just by policy.
P2
Phase 2 · Weeks 3–4
Full observability across the platform
APM tracing Performance metrics Real-time alerts
▼
Distributed tracing
Track every request from client to database and back. Immediately identify where slowdowns and failures occur.
Agent execution dashboard
Real-time visibility into AI agent runs — success rates, step latency, credit usage, and pending approvals per client.
Performance monitoring
Automated alerts on latency spikes, error rates, and queue backlogs before they affect clients.
Failure notifications
Clients receive immediate notification when an agent step fails, with full context for resolution.
P3
Phase 3 · Weeks 5–6
Automated deployment pipeline
CI/CD Staging environment Zero-downtime
▼
Automated testing on every release
Code changes run through an automated test suite before deployment. No release reaches production without passing.
Staging environment
A production-identical staging environment for validating changes with anonymised data before client-facing release.
Zero-downtime deployment
Clients experience no interruption during platform updates through rolling deployment architecture.
Instant rollback
Any deployment can be reversed within 60 seconds if an issue is detected post-release.
P4
Phase 4 · Weeks 7–8
Billing integrity & data reliability
Credit guardrails Database replication Blockchain receipts
▼
Pre-execution billing checks
Credit balance is verified before each AI agent step runs. If insufficient, the step pauses and the client is notified.
Budget caps per agent
Clients set maximum spend limits per workflow. No agent can exceed its allocated budget, preventing runaway costs.
Read replica for analytics
Reporting queries run against a dedicated read replica — keeping analytics performance separate from operational data.
Blockchain execution receipts
Each completed agent run produces an immutable receipt on-chain — a permanent, verifiable compliance record.

What this unlocks

Enterprise sales confidence — clients with compliance obligations require audit trails and uptime SLAs
Faster issue resolution — full visibility cuts mean time-to-detect from hours to seconds
Safe scaling — automated deployment removes human error from multi-service releases
SOC 2 readiness — audit trail and access control foundations required for certification
