Architecture Diagram and High-Level Components

High-Level Architecture

The architecture of the customer-hosted deployment is similar to the Platform fully hosted by PlainID and includes the:

• Policy Administration Point (PAP) with all its services.
  • The PAP component uses a Postgres DB as its main storage.
• Policy Authorization Agent (PAA) with the runtime authorization decision engine (PDP).
• Policy Decision Point PDP
  • The PDP uses REDIS as storage.

In the Hybrid Agent deployment, you will need to make your Postgres and REDIS managed services available for the PlainID Platform.
