Architecture & components

The OpenLM Platform runs as containerized microservices orchestrated by Kubernetes for high availability and scalability.

Core layers

• Infrastructure: Customer-managed compute, networking, and persistent storage.
• Kubernetes cluster: Hosts all platform services and manages scaling and self-healing.
• API gateway: Single entry point for external traffic, routing, and auth.
• Microservices: License usage collectors, reporting, administration services running as Pods.
• Data persistence: Internal databases for configuration and usage data.

Deployment packaging

• Delivered as a Helm chart with all required manifests (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, etc.).
• Customers configure values (ingress, storage, certificates) and deploy/upgrade via Helm.

Small/contained option

An all-in-one VM image can be offered for small or POC deployments with Kubernetes and OpenLM pre-baked.
