Infrastructure Architecture: The Hybrid Control Plane
4 min
separating logic from data tavio utilizes a hybrid control plane architecture designed to resolve the tension between saas convenience and enterprise security we strictly separate the control plane (orchestration) from the data plane (execution) this means that while tavio manages the logic, metadata, and flow of your integrations, the actual processing and storage of customer data occur within dedicated, isolated boundaries this ensures that we manage the how of your integrations, while you maintain absolute control over the what—your sensitive data enforced isolation strict multi tenancy unlike traditional multi tenant architectures that rely on shared tables with logical filters, tavio enforces isolation at two distinct levels the organization and the environment organization level each partner or direct client is provisioned with their own organization every organization operates in a logically and cryptographically isolated environment, ensuring that partner a’s data is completely inaccessible to partner b environment level within an organization, specific environments (such as development, staging, and production) are further isolated from one another no data is shared between environments; every client's hr data, access credentials, and temporary files are completely contained within the specific environment in which they are running this prevents accidental cross contamination, ensuring that test data never leaks into production and live pii never bleeds into a developer sandbox data management details stateless by default tavio is architected to minimize data liability by default, integration workflows are stateless they extract data, transform it in memory, and load it to the destination without retaining a copy once an execution completes, the data processed during that transaction is discarded, ensuring that sensitive payload information is not permanently stored on our infrastructure unless your specific use case explicitly requires it segregated persistence layer in scenarios where data persistence is required—such as for temporary file buffering, managed file transfers, or long term logging—tavio utilizes a strictly segregated object storage model built on aws s3 private buckets every individual environment is provisioned with its own dedicated s3 bucket there is no "shared folder" structure; temporary files for one client environment are physically separated from all others cryptographic isolation to ensure absolute segmentation, every environment is assigned its own unique s3 encryption key this means that data at rest is not only separated by logical boundaries but is also cryptographically locked to its specific environment, making cross tenant access impossible regional sovereignty to comply with strict international data residency laws such as gdpr , ccpa , and pipeda , tavio allows you to pin data processing and storage to specific geographic regions regional gateways when you provision an environment, you select its hosting region (e g , us, canada, or the european union) this selection dictates not only where the data is stored but also the specific proxy gateways (e g , us1, ca1, eu1) used for outbound api traffic compliance by default by pinning an environment to the eu1 region, for example, you ensure that data processing and storage occur exclusively within the european union, satisfying data sovereignty requirements without requiring complex configuration changes to your workflows
