Introduction
How StackShift works
LiveA product-level walkthrough of how the control plane, worker, agent, and runtime hosts cooperate.
Goal
Show the end-to-end flow from dashboard action to runtime state.
Current status
Live
This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.
Workflow
- 1A dashboard action creates a control-plane request for a build, deploy, restore, or upgrade.
- 2The control plane persists state and coordinates worker-side or node-side actions.
- 3The agent receives runtime instructions on the target node and applies them to local services.
- 4Operations and resource detail views surface the resulting health, logs, and recovery state.
Expected result
You can reason about where a failure occurred: control plane, worker, node agent, or workload runtime.
Common failures
- Agent unreachable
- Placement blocked
- Backup storage unavailable
- Template upgrade blocked by drift
