Cloud Overview

What Cloud is for

• Overview dashboard with organization posture, repository attention previews, architecture inventory summary, and workspace CTAs
• Repository dashboards with posture, findings, inventory, modules, snapshot history, Snapshot Diff, Repository Intelligence, and Blast Radius
• Architecture Explorer for Growth and above with cross-repository components, resources, modules, and entity details
• Findings review, finding details, and Findings Intelligence where available
• Policies, enforcement posture, exceptions, and affected repository context
• Rule Catalog guidance for understanding validation findings
• Ownership views for teams, systems, repository mapping, and Ownership Intelligence where available
• Install ArchPilot guidance for the VS Code extension, CLI, Cloud connection, API token setup, and CI upload flow

Overview dashboard

The Overview page is the workspace starting point. It summarizes organization posture, previews repositories that need attention, shows architecture inventory coverage, and routes users to the right workspace area.

When the organization has Growth and above intelligence available, Overview also previews higher-level architecture, findings, and rule intelligence while linking to the dedicated pages.

• Use Repositories when you need repository posture, findings, inventory, modules, snapshots, Snapshot Diff, Repository Intelligence, or Blast Radius.
• Use Architecture Explorer on Growth and above when you need cross-repository component, resource, module, or entity exploration.
• Use Ownership, Policies, Findings, and Rules for the dedicated governance workflows behind the dashboard previews.

Mental model

ArchPilot operates in two layers.

Cloud presents the results produced by local validation.

• Local (CLI / VS Code): analyzes code, validates architecture, and produces scores and findings.
• Cloud: tracks snapshots, findings, repository posture, ownership, policy state, rules, and architecture inventory in the shared workspace.

Cloud's role

The VS Code extension and CLI perform architecture validation locally.

Cloud is the shared visibility and governance layer for results, trends, ownership context, and architecture outcomes across repositories, teams, and time.

Who typically uses Cloud

• Teams that want local validation to become a shared architecture governance practice
• Platform teams that want architecture governance across many repositories
• Engineering leaders who want trends, dashboards, rule impact, and posture visibility
• Repository owners who need findings and snapshot history beyond a single local run

Plan note

Free focuses on Repository Visibility: repository health and posture visibility, Rule Catalog guidance, manual uploads, and repository findings context.

Team adds Repository Governance: Repository Intelligence, Snapshot Diff, Blast Radius, Cross-Repository Intelligence, ownership management, policy management, exception management, and CI-to-Cloud uploads.

Growth adds Organization Intelligence: Findings Intelligence, Rule Intelligence, and Architecture Explorer.

Enterprise uses custom limits, support, and commercial packaging.

Manual governance upload is available on all plans. Automatic CI upload to Cloud on main is available on paid plans.
