Arqen Control Plane
Arqen Control Plane is the cloud layer that governs your deployments: tenants, contracts, signed licenses, distribution of your manifests and fleet observability.
Back to Arqen PlatformSelf-service provisioning
Stripe payment → verified webhook → tenant record, subscription and single-use bootstrap token created automatically. The welcome email with the install command ships through a persistent notification outbox with retry and dead-letter.
Stripe lifecycle
Stripe webhooks drive the subscription state machine: trial, active, past_due, canceled. Every transition re-signs the tenant license — the contract is a cryptographic object, not a flag in a database.
Manifests & licenses
Your developers publish; the Control Plane signs and distributes. Manifests and contract licenses (Ed25519) are pulled by edges on a schedule — versioning, staging and rollback built in.
Consumption metering
Real usage per tenant: synced events, edge nodes onboarded, monthly volumes against contractual caps. The admin console shows contract state, grace and traffic in one view.
Selective enforcement
Failed payment → grace period → write-only suspension on the edge. Reads, outbox drain and sync never stop: a suspended tenant never loses data, and reactivation needs no restart.
Fleet operations
Heartbeat per edge, readiness probes, admin sessions with audit trail, notification queue inspection and retry. One console governs the whole fleet — from a single pilot to hundreds of sites.
