Morning Star Platform

An open, composable data and DevSecOps foundation for modern manufacturing.

The Morning Star Platform is a production-ready, open-source framework for deploying, securing, and scaling data-intensive workloads on your own infrastructure. Designed for engineering and manufacturing environments, it brings cloud-native capabilities-GitOps, streaming, compute, and observability-to the edge, factory floor, or private cloud, without the cost or lock-in of commercial platforms.

Built with Kubernetes and ArgoCD’s app-of-apps pattern, it provides a single source of truth for infrastructure and application delivery. Every component-Flink, Kafka, Spark, Trino, Vault, and Keycloak-is orchestrated, version-controlled, and hardened through automated GitOps workflows.

Core Capabilities

A modular architecture engineered for consistency, reliability, and speed.

Platform Architecture

  • GitOps deployments with ArgoCD + Helm
  • Streaming and stateful services powered by Kafka and Flink
  • Batch compute with Spark and interactive analytics via Trino
  • Data science notebooks and collaboration through JupyterHub
  • Ingress with TLS, mTLS, and WAF for secure edge connectivity

Security & Operations

  • Secrets managed via HashiCorp Vault + External Secrets Operator
  • Identity and access with Keycloak (OIDC, SAML, LDAP)
  • Observability via Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and alert pipelines
  • Disaster recovery, backup, and audit playbooks included
  • Performance, reliability, and cost optimization guidance

Why It Matters

A platform built for engineers who build real things.

Open by Design

Every service is built on open standards and open-source technologies. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary APIs-just portable, auditable, and extensible infrastructure.

Deploy Anywhere

Whether you’re running on a Proxmox cluster in a lab, a manufacturing edge node, or a cloud environment, the same GitOps workflows apply. Build once, deploy anywhere.

Optimized for Manufacturing

Designed for industrial data-machine telemetry, quality metrics, and process analytics-the platform integrates naturally with OT systems and scales as your data maturity evolves.

Secure by Default

Infrastructure-as-code, automated policy enforcement, and centralized secret management ensure compliance and traceability from the first commit.

Bring Your Own Infrastructure

Deploy a fully open, production-grade data platform in days-not months.

Whether you’re modernizing analytics for a single plant or building a global data platform, we can help you design, deploy, and secure your environment using the same architecture we use internally.
