# Architecture

> How Datum's edge cloud is put together, from the control plane to the backbone. Documentation is coming soon.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Coming soon.** Datum is still being built, and documentation for this topic is on the way.

This page will describe how the Datum platform fits together: the Kubernetes-style control plane, the global network and its locations, and how products such as Compute, [gVPC](https://datum.net/docs/galactic-vpc/overview.md), the [Application Load Balancer](https://datum.net/docs/alb/overview.md), [Connectors](https://datum.net/docs/connectors/overview.md), and DNS are built on top of it.

## In the meantime

* [Platform API](https://datum.net/docs/platform/kubernetes.md) — how Datum's platform and API are built on Kubernetes resources.
* [Envoy](https://datum.net/docs/platform/envoy.md) — the proxy behind the Application Load Balancer.
* [Locations](https://datum.net/docs/locations.md) — Datum's regions and availability zones.
* [Overview](https://datum.net/docs/index.md) — what Datum is and who it is for.
