Cloud Overview

ArchPilot Cloud is the shared architecture governance workspace for repository visibility, findings, snapshots, policy workflows, ownership, and organization-level architecture review.

Why it matters

Use ArchPilot Cloud when you want architecture validation results to become a shared governance signal across repositories, teams, systems, and time.

What Cloud is for

  • Repository-level governance visibility
  • Findings review and exception workflows
  • Snapshot history and posture trends
  • Ownership views across teams and systems
  • Organization-level policy and governance operations

Mental model

ArchPilot operates in two layers.

Cloud does not recompute or override local validation results. It only persists and presents them.

  • Local (CLI / VS Code): analyzes code, validates architecture, and produces scores and findings.
  • Cloud: stores uploaded snapshots, tracks findings over time, displays repository and organization-level governance state, and shows component and resource inventory when present.

What Cloud is not

Cloud is not the validator itself. The VS Code extension and CLI still perform architecture validation locally.

Cloud is the shared visibility and governance layer that stores uploaded results, shows trend and ownership context, and turns architecture outcomes into operational workflows 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, and posture visibility
  • Repository owners who need findings and snapshot history beyond a single local run

Plan note

Cloud repository coverage, history retention, API token count, ownership workflows, policy workflows, and dashboard depth vary by plan.

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