LayerRail separates user-facing control plane traffic from background provisioning work.
High-level model
User -> LayerRail console -> Project database
-> Background workers
-> Provider APIs
-> Provisioned resources
Control plane
The control plane handles:
- Authentication.
- Project navigation.
- Resource creation forms.
- Billing and verification.
- API requests.
- Audit-friendly state transitions.
Background workers
Workers handle longer operations:
- VM provisioning.
- Database setup.
- Kubernetes cluster creation.
- Load balancer updates.
- DNS operations.
- Cleanup after deletion.
Resource state
Resources move through states such as creating, running, and deleting so you can see when work is still in progress.
If a resource is stuck in a transitional state, check the status page and contact support with the resource ID.
