Design Principles
The objective is to have an "enterprise-grade" solution without the overhead of corporate processes. The system is designed as follows:
- Security by Design:
- Zero Trust model
- Defense in Depth
- Least Privilege
- Network Segmentation
- Development:
- DevSecOps approach
- GitOps workflow
- Shift-left security
- Immutable infrastructure
- Operations:
- Infrastructure as Code
- Configuration as Code
- Declarative workloads
- Automated deployments and reconciliation
- Reliability:
- Self-healing systems
- Service isolation
- Backup and recovery strategy
- Minimal external dependencies
The HX Lab combines enterprise-grade practices with the flexibility of a self-hosted environment, ensuring security, reliability, and operational excellence.
