This blog serves as the public documentation for Severed. While the main site provides the high-level vision, this space is dedicated to the technical source-of-truth for the experiments, infrastructure-as-code, and proprietary tooling that are used within the cluster.

Ecosystem

The following services are currently active within the severed.ink network:

  • ChronoFlow Quant: Proprietary Trading Pipeline (Auth Required)
  • Flow Admin: Dagster Orchestration Engine (Auth Required)
  • Optics: Centralized Grafana Observability (Auth Required)
  • Gitea: Version Control & Git Ops (Public)
  • Blog: Public Engineering Documentation (Public)

Core Infrastructure

The ecosystem is powered by a Home Server Cluster managed via a Kubernetes (k3s) distribution. This setup prioritizes local sovereignty and GitOps principles.

  • CI Pipeline: Automated build and test suites are orchestrated by a private Jenkins server utilizing self-hosted runners.
  • GitOps & Deployment: Automated synchronization and state enforcement via ArgoCD.
  • Data Layer: Persistent storage managed by PostgreSQL.
  • Telemetry: Full-stack observability provided by Prometheus (metrics) and Loki (logs) via Grafana.
  • Security Layer: Push/Pull GitOps operations require an active connection to a WireGuard (VPN) for remote access.

Roadmap

Engineering efforts are currently focused on the following milestones:

  1. OSS Strategy: Transitioning from a hybrid of AWS managed services toward a ~100% Open Source Software (OSS) stack.
  2. High Availability (HA): Implementing a "Cloud RAID-1" failover mechanism. In the event of home cluster instability, traffic automatically routes to a secondary cloud-instantiated Kubernetes cluster as a temporary failover.
  3. Data Resilience: Automating PostgreSQL backup strategies to ensure parity between the primary cluster and the cloud-based failover.
  4. Storage Infrastructure: Integrating a dedicated TrueNAS node to move from local SATA/NVMe reliance to a centralized, redundant storage architecture.
