Cloudlight

The default execution plane: low latency, close to your users.

Cloudlight is where your workloads run unless you have pinned them elsewhere: a globally distributed edge plane that serves gateway requests, agent sandboxes, and dashboards with the lowest latency the platform offers.

What runs here

• Gateway authentication and routing, within the 30ms p50 overhead budget.
• Agent sandboxes: isolated execution with a warm window, roughly 4s to wake warm and 9s cold.
• The Meter, key cache, and route resolution.

Characteristics

Cloudlight is stateless by design. Sandboxes hydrate from your data plane and hold nothing durable of their own, which is what makes them safe to recycle and fast to scale. Durable state lives in your Private Inference Cloud's data plane.

When a workload needs region pinning, heavy compute, or at-rest residency guarantees, it moves to Cloudheavy. Most tenants use both without thinking about the split: the platform places each workload on the plane that fits it.
