Deployment overview

hiloop supports the same product model across four deployment models:

What changes is infrastructure ownership, data location, operating responsibility, and network boundary.

Decision matrix

Requirement	Recommended model
Fastest onboarding	Hosted SaaS
Managed operations with customer-owned payload storage	Hybrid
Dedicated account-level isolation	BYOC
Customer-operated infrastructure	On-prem / air-gapped
Customer-owned identity provider, database, object storage, registry, and certificates	On-prem / air-gapped
Private networking with operated stack	BYOC or hybrid

Whichever model you pick, the product contract is the same:

API keys or sessions authenticate requests.
The edge resolves identity before backend services handle the request.
APIs are organization-scoped.
Telemetry uses trusted run identity and logical lineage.
Runtime capabilities are discovered through the API instead of assumed from deployment model.
