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.
