Ecosystem Map¶
The ecosystem map shows every platform in the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory and the primary relationships between them. It is the canonical "you are here" diagram for the whole final-state architecture.

Plane responsibilities¶
| Plane | Platforms | Owns |
|---|---|---|
| Experience | Factory Studio, Marketplace | Human interaction, design, review, governance surfaces, asset distribution. |
| Control | Control Plane | Orchestration, project lifecycle, policy enforcement, routing, durable state. |
| Work | Agent Mesh, Knowledge Platform, Template & Library | Autonomous production grounded in knowledge and templates. |
| Delivery & Runtime | DevOps / GitOps, Runtime Cloud, Generated SaaS | Shipping and operating real cloud-native systems. |
| Cross-cutting | Governance, Observability & Feedback, Integration | Trust, insight, and connectivity applied everywhere. |
Primary inter-platform contracts¶
| From | To | Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | Control Plane | BFF commands/queries; review decisions; SignalR event streams. |
| Control Plane | Agent Mesh | Agent task contract assignment. |
| Agent Mesh | Knowledge Platform | Context package build requests; artifact ingestion. |
| Agent Mesh | Template & Library | Template execution, compatibility evaluation. |
| Agent Mesh / Templates | DevOps / GitOps | Validated artifacts → commits, PRs, pipelines. |
| DevOps / GitOps | Runtime Cloud | Deployment manifests, IaC provisioning (Pulumi). |
| Runtime Cloud | Observability & Feedback | Traces, metrics, logs, incidents. |
| Observability & Feedback | Knowledge Platform | Runtime signals, feedback items. |
| Governance | all production platforms | Policy decisions, approvals, audit. |
| Integration | Control Plane / Mesh / DevOps | External systems: Azure DevOps, LLM providers, cloud, vendors. |
All inter-platform communication uses the canonical event envelope for async flows and authenticated REST/gRPC for synchronous calls.
