Platform Architecture

SalaX is containerised and orchestrated via Kubernetes, with a clean separation between the public-facing edge and internal service components. The Ingress controller is the single externally-reachable component — all client traffic enters through it over HTTPS, with no direct external access to any internal service.

SalaX also supports multi-node deployment.
