Quantum Platform Blueprint Context

Overview​

The Quantum Platform is a multi-tenant, intent-driven orchestration system designed for enterprise-scale deployment on Azure. This blueprint defines the architecture, patterns, and guardrails for building and operating the platform.

Core Principles​

1. Intent-Driven Architecture​

  • All system behavior is driven by explicit intent declarations
  • Intent references (intent_ref) must be present in all source code
  • Intent registry maintains the source of truth for system behavior

2. Multi-Tenant Isolation​

  • Strict tenant isolation enforced at all layers
  • Row-Level Security (RLS) for data isolation
  • Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) for authorization
  • IRS (Intent Registry Service) gates for tenant boundary enforcement

3. Zero-Trust Security​

  • All communications are authenticated and authorized
  • No implicit trust between services
  • Comprehensive audit logging and monitoring

4. Cloud-Native Design​

  • Containerized microservices
  • Event-driven architecture
  • Auto-scaling and self-healing capabilities
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Architecture Components​

Core Services​

  • Gateway: API gateway with authentication and routing
  • Control Plane: Tenant and resource management
  • Intent Registry: Intent storage and versioning
  • Orchestrator: Intent execution and workflow management
  • Module Services: Domain-specific business logic

Supporting Services​

  • Identity Service: Authentication and authorization
  • Event Hub: Asynchronous messaging
  • Storage: Blob storage for artifacts and data
  • Database: PostgreSQL with RLS for tenant isolation
  • Monitoring: Observability and alerting

Technology Stack​

  • Backend: Python/FastAPI, Go for high-performance services
  • Frontend: React/TypeScript with modern tooling
  • Database: PostgreSQL with RLS
  • Message Queue: Azure Event Hubs
  • Storage: Azure Blob Storage
  • Container Registry: Azure Container Registry
  • Orchestration: Kubernetes (AKS)
  • Infrastructure: Terraform, Azure CLI

Development Standards​

Code Quality​

  • All source files must include intent_ref header
  • Comprehensive test coverage
  • Automated linting and formatting
  • Security scanning in CI/CD

Documentation​

  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant changes
  • API documentation with OpenAPI/Swagger
  • Runbooks for operational procedures

Deployment​

  • Blue-green deployments
  • Feature flags for gradual rollouts
  • Automated rollback capabilities
  • Environment promotion pipeline

Compliance and Governance​

Data Protection​

  • GDPR compliance for EU data
  • SOC 2 Type II controls
  • Data encryption at rest and in transit
  • Regular security audits

Operational Excellence​

  • 99.9% uptime SLA
  • Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) < 15 minutes
  • Comprehensive monitoring and alerting
  • Regular disaster recovery testing

Success Metrics​

  • Performance: < 200ms API response time (95th percentile)
  • Reliability: 99.9% uptime
  • Security: Zero critical vulnerabilities
  • Developer Experience: < 5 minute local development setup
  • Compliance: 100% audit findings addressed
