    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.
