Architecture

These pages describe how the Automation Platform is put together and how data moves through it. Each page pairs a diagram with detailed explanations, so you can trace a component or a flow end to end. Use them to evaluate the platform, plan a deployment, or answer security questions.

• Stack overview - The layers of the platform: clients, the Warp control plane, execution planes, data stores, and external systems.
• Cloud agent run lifecycle - What happens between a trigger firing and a finished run, step by step.
• Self-hosted execution flow - How a managed worker on your infrastructure claims and executes work over an outbound-only connection.
• Warp Factories work-item flow - How a factory moves a work item from intake through specialized agents to a human handoff.
• Data security and boundaries - Where code, prompts, transcripts, secrets, and credentials flow, and the boundaries that contain them.

The diagrams describe the Warp-operated platform. Deployment choices such as self-hosted execution, Bring Your Own LLM, and customer-owned storage move specific boundaries; each page notes where those options apply.
