REFERENCE ARCHITECTURES

Tesserra Architecture Center

Production-ready patterns with visual topology diagrams, Tesserra product mappings, and copy-paste blueprints — modeled after AWS, Azure, and Red Hat reference architectures.

12 patterns
From startup MVP to regulated enterprise and multi-region
Well-Architected
One-click deploy
Each pattern includes a JSON blueprint for the Tesserra API

Architecture patterns

Select a pattern based on your workload type, team structure, and resilience requirements. Every diagram uses official Tesserra product icons and maps to provisionable resources in your organization.

Single-region web applicationWeb & API

Production-ready pattern for SPAs, e-commerce, and public APIs — Compute, Datastore, Gateway, Sentinel, and Insight in one region.

FoundationalPro+
Microservices on private FabricMicroservices

Multiple Compute services on an isolated Fabric network, public ingress via Gateway, per-service Datastores and Autoscale policies.

IntermediateBusiness+
Event-driven integrationEvent-driven & realtime

Asynchronous workflows with Conduit (Kafka), Lane (RabbitMQ), and Beacon (NATS) — decouple producers from consumers and scale workers independently.

IntermediateBusiness+
AI inference workloadAI & ML

Serve models via Compute (self-hosted) or Tesserra managed agents — cache with Datastore Redis, audit in Postgres, datasets in Archive.

AdvancedBusiness+ / Enterprise
Multi-region active-activeHigh availability

Compute replicas across continental Zones, Gateway geo-routing, asynchronous or synchronous Datastore replication — Business and Enterprise tiers.

EnterpriseBusiness / Enterprise
Secure edge ingressSecurity & compliance

Defense-in-depth at the perimeter — Sentinel WAF, Gateway TLS termination, Fabric isolation, and Insight security monitoring.

IntermediatePro+
Startup MVP — first production deployStartup & MVP

Minimum viable stack for a small team: Gateway, Compute, Datastore, and Insight — expand into full patterns as traffic and compliance grow.

FoundationalStarter / Pro
E-commerce & high-traffic retailWeb & API

Catalog API, Redis session cache, media in Archive, Autoscale on traffic, Sentinel at the edge — built for campaigns and seasonal peaks.

IntermediatePro / Business
Data pipeline & analyticsData & analytics

Ingest via Conduit, transform with Compute workers, land in Archive and Datastore — Lane for batch jobs, Insight for pipeline SLOs.

AdvancedBusiness+
B2B SaaS multi-tenant platformB2B SaaS

Tenant isolation at the organization layer, Fabric private networking, per-tenant Datastore schemas, Gateway custom domains, Sentinel and Autoscale for enterprise SLAs.

AdvancedBusiness / Enterprise
Real-time API & notificationsEvent-driven & realtime

WebSocket/long-poll API on Compute, Beacon for pub/sub fan-out, Lane for durable notification delivery, Redis state in Datastore.

IntermediateBusiness+
Regulated enterprise (finance & health)Security & compliance

Full defense-in-depth: Sentinel, Fabric isolation, HA Datastores, Archive with retention, Insight audit logs, multi-region option — maps to SOC 2 / LGPD / HIPAA-ready posture.
