Every hop. Capability-level.
How STEADYWRK moves data — from ingress, through edge + application, to persistence + egress — without publishing a vendor clone map. Named subprocessors for procurement live on the subprocessors list for the vendor backing each node.
1. Inbound
Every request originates here
End user
browser, mobile, email CTA
AI agent
MCP client, OpenAPI consumer
Webhook
payment, identity, scheduling, messaging partners
2. Edge
Hostile-block + bot shield + fingerprint
Edge DNS/TLS
DNS, TLS termination, geo routing
Bot shield
bot detection, WAF, rate pre-filter
Rate store
sliding-window rate limits per identity
3. Application
App runtime — auth + business logic
App runtime
application servers, auto-deploy from main
Auth middleware
operator surfaces, session JWTs
API guard
schema validation, claims-based RBAC
4. Data
Persistence + payout rails
Primary database
OLTP, AES-256 at rest, regional residency
Ephemeral store
rate-limit counters, short-lived cache
Payout processor
300+ payment rails, US 1099 + global payouts
5. Egress
Observability + operator comms
Error telemetry
error tracking with release tags, PII scrubbing
Product analytics
usage analytics, retention-bounded
Transactional email
DKIM + SPF signed operator mail
Mermaid source — paste into any renderer.
Agents + auditors can consume the machine-readable flow below directly. Solid arrows are request flow; dashed arrows are observability emissions.
