Reference patterns
Use opinionated blueprints for telemetry ingestion, command workflows, and private-networked deployments.
- Unified Endpoint ingress with Beam and Funnel fan-out
- Event-driven actions through Funk and Flux
- Private networking patterns with VPG and cloud-side controls
Decision matrix
Compare Beam/Funnel/Funk/Orbit and VPG options by security, latency, and operations requirements.
| Decision area | Trade-off focus |
|---|---|
| Beam vs Funnel | Protocol flexibility vs direct cloud-native ingestion |
| Funk vs Flux | Single trigger functions vs multi-step event orchestration |
| VPG options | Connectivity model, trust boundaries, and operations burden |
Production readiness checks
Verify observability, rollout control, and failure-mode handling before launch.
- Define rollout and rollback controls before first mass deployment.
- Establish monitoring, alerting, and ownership for each failure domain.
- Verify auth and access boundaries for every public and gated surface.
