Superblocks Hybrid

Superblocks Hybrid is designed for organizations that require production data and application execution to remain entirely within their AWS, GCP, or Azure environment, while offloading platform management and control plane operations to the Superblocks Cloud. With Superblocks Hybrid, the Superblocks control plane and AI inference for development are hosted and managed in the Superblocks Cloud, while the data plane is deployed inside your cloud provider VPC, directly colocated with your private production data. All production code executes locally within the customer network, ensuring production data never leaves customer-controlled boundaries. This model gives customers strong guarantees around production data residency, network isolation, and execution locality, while Superblocks manages the control plane lifecycle, including upgrades, reliability, and operational support. You upgrade the data planes in your environment. The result is enterprise-grade security and control without the operational burden, slow iteration cycles, or complexity of a fully self-hosted deployment.

Hybrid architecture

This model provides production data residency in your own cloud, separate non-production and production environments (typically one account each), and a fully managed control plane, for organizations that need production execution to stay in their network.

How it works

In the Superblocks Hybrid deployment model:

• Cloud-hosted control plane and AI: The Superblocks control plane, Clark, and Clark’s development sandbox run in the Superblocks Cloud, and AI inference for development and non-production workflows goes through the Superblocks Inference Gateway. All are fully managed by Superblocks. Clark chat history is stored in the Superblocks Cloud, and data sent to AI models is never used for training.
• Private, single-tenant data plane: A dedicated Superblocks data plane is deployed inside your AWS, GCP, or Azure VPC and executes all production application APIs locally.
• Production data stays in your network: Deployed applications load their frontend from the Superblocks CDN, then call the data plane directly for secure, low-latency access to private APIs, databases, and internal services, with production data never leaving the customer VPC.
• Outbound-only connection to Superblocks: The data plane connects out to the control plane, so Superblocks never connects into your network. Your users reach the data plane from your network or VPN.
• Enterprise identity and managed operations: Access is governed by your enterprise SSO and centralized Superblocks RBAC. Superblocks operates the control plane, including upgrades, reliability, and ongoing support, and you upgrade the data planes in your environment.
• Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

This model ensures that all production application execution and data access occur entirely within your network, while Superblocks manages the control plane, AI capabilities, and platform operations, without requiring you to run or maintain the full system yourself.

Why choose Hybrid

Superblocks Hybrid is best for enterprises that require private network execution and data locality. Customers often choose this deployment model because:

• Private, high-performance production execution: All production application APIs, workflows, and data access execute locally inside your AWS, GCP, or Azure VPC, behind existing network controls, delivering low-latency, predictable performance with production data never leaving customer-managed boundaries.
• No inbound connections from Superblocks: The data plane connects outbound-only to the Superblocks Cloud, so you don’t open firewall ports or allow inbound connections from Superblocks into your VPC.
• Cloud-hosted AI for development speed: AI inference for development, previews, and non-production data goes through the Superblocks Inference Gateway, enabling fast iteration and AI-assisted development without exposing production data.
• Centralized governance without overhead: Control plane services, including configuration, orchestration, RBAC, and audit logs, are managed centrally by Superblocks, providing enterprise-grade governance without operating control plane infrastructure.

Customers retain control over the data plane infrastructure, network access, and production data, while Superblocks manages the control plane and AI services.
