VentStream Cloud is the managed control plane for CDC and realtime engine workloads. It inventories deployments, enrolls agents, distributes desired state and configuration, records durable operations, and provides organization-scoped visibility. The management plane is hosted by VentStream. Managed agents run in your infrastructure and connect outbound to Cloud. Source records, sink writes, broker events, GraphQL subscriptions, and WebSocket traffic stay in the engine data path; they are not proxied through the control plane.

​
Administration surfaces

  • The dashboard provides onboarding, organization membership, pipeline creation, configuration editing, deployment guidance, observability, billing, and settings.
  • ventstreamctl provides repeatable pipeline, deployment, configuration, lifecycle, identity, status, and operation workflows.
  • Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or your scheduler creates the managed-agent workload in your infrastructure. Cloud administers it after enrollment; it does not deploy directly into your cluster.

​
Managed and standalone modes

The VentStream engine can run standalone from local configuration with no Cloud dependency. Managed deployments run the Fleet supervisor as PID 1, which starts and stops the engine child according to persisted desired state. Standalone engines are operated through their process manager, Kubernetes, or another scheduler. They cannot be paused, resumed, configured, or inspected with ventstreamctl because they are not enrolled in VentStream Cloud. Choose VentStream Cloud when you need centralized inventory, configuration history, runtime visibility, controlled pause/resume/drain operations, agent identity, or administration across organizations and environments.
