0003. This repo deploys the Liquidware platform; assessment and design live elsewhere

proposedReviewed 2026-10-18Source: decisions/0003-deploy-here-assess-and-design-elsewhere.md

Context and Problem Statement

The Stratusphere tooling started inside a project that also designed AVD environments from what Stratusphere measured. Deploying the platform, running an assessment engagement, and designing a target environment change at different speeds and serve different people. Where does each belong?

Considered Options

  • This repo deploys and operates the Liquidware platform in Azure; assessment engagements and target-state design are separate projects that consume it
  • One repo for all three

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: "This repo deploys and operates the platform", because the deployment tooling is useful to anyone who runs Stratusphere in Azure, whatever they do with the data afterwards.

Consequences

  • Good, because this repo can be public and stay focused: appliances, the Connector ID Key, the API's behavior, Azure networking and Marketplace.
  • Good, because facts about Liquidware's products live here, and other projects link to them.
  • Neutral, because how an assessment is run or turned into a design isn't recorded here.
