Deploy & operate
With ControlPlane.The entire Grid Data family, deployed from one console.
ControlPlane packages every application into versioned bundles and installs them on Kubernetes with Helm — or on a single server with Docker Compose. A week of hand-crafted YAML becomes a guided, repeatable, auditable deployment.
Software this critical deserves a boring deployment
Utility platforms fail at the seams — a missed value here, a mismatched version there. ControlPlane removes the seams: every environment runs a known bundle, configured through one console, with Helm’s upgrade-and-rollback safety net underneath.
What it handles
Helm-based release management
Install, upgrade, and roll back complete application releases on any Kubernetes cluster — cloud, on-premises, or edge — with full release history.
Versioned application bundles
GDM, GDS, and platform releases ship as self-contained bundles, so development, QA, and production run provably identical stacks.
Guided web console
A modern React UI walks operators through cluster targets, configuration values, and release status — no kubectl expertise required.
Secrets kept safe
Sensitive configuration is encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption; JWT-secured APIs guard every operation.
Kubernetes or bare metal
The same bundles deploy through Helm on Kubernetes or Docker Compose on a single server — production to field demo.
Environment configuration
Registries, ingress, and credentials managed centrally and applied consistently at deploy time.
How it works
See it, end to end
Load a bundle
Pick a versioned release bundle — the complete set of charts, images, and default values for a family release.
Configure the target
Point at a Kubernetes cluster or a bare-metal host; set environment values once, encrypted at rest.
Deploy
ControlPlane drives Helm (or Compose) to install every application in order, and records the release.
Operate
Upgrade to the next bundle, or roll back to the last known-good release — with the full history in front of you.
Use cases
Where it earns its keep
Utility production rollouts
Stand up the full Grid Data stack in a customer’s Kubernetes environment in hours, with a documented, repeatable procedure.
Managed upgrades
Move a live deployment from one platform release to the next with rollback as a first-class safety net.
Air-gapped and on-premises sites
Deploy from a private registry with no external dependencies — a common requirement for critical infrastructure.
Demo and evaluation environments
Spin up a complete, disposable stack on a laptop or a single VM for demonstrations and proofs of concept.
Multi-environment consistency
Keep dev, QA, and production aligned to the same bundle versions and configuration model.
Under the hood
Technology
Current, supported, boring-on-purpose technology — the kind that stays deployable for years.
Better together
Part of the Grid Data Family
Every family application shares one identity platform, one design system, one registration pattern, and one deployment path.
