Sentra is designed for cloud infrastructure. Here's the plan.
Sentra plans to use cloud infrastructure for secure web and API services, managed and graph databases, evidence storage, vector/RAG workloads, geospatial services, observability, and AI inference for retrieval, extraction, summarization, evaluation, and alerting. The table below describes workloads. Provider selection is open.
| # | Workload | Why Sentra needs it | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Web & API runtime | Sentra's analyst workspace and API services need horizontal scaling, per-workspace isolation, and rapid deployment slots for iterative releases. | compute |
| 02 | Managed database | Postgres-compatible storage for entity records, investigations, users, reviewer history, and configuration. Logical separation per workspace; encrypted backups; point-in-time recovery. | data |
| 03 | Graph database | Native graph store for entity relationships, centrality queries, and incremental network analysis at investigation scale. | graph |
| 04 | Object storage | Workspace-scoped storage for source documents, capture artifacts, exported reports. Lifecycle and retention policy at the workspace level. | data |
| 05 | Vector & RAG | Vector store for source-grounded retrieval, document embeddings, and AI assistant context — bounded to the workspace. | retrieval |
| 06 | Geospatial services | Map tile serving, review-area geometry, spatial indexing, and source-linked map and timeline views for the geospatial workspace. | geo |
| 07 | AI inference & evaluation | Bounded inference capacity for entity extraction, summarization, RAG, calibration scoring, limited alert evaluation, and ongoing model evaluation. | gpu · inference |
| 08 | Observability | Structured logs, metrics, traces, and append-only audit storage scoped to workspace boundaries. Required for both reliability and reviewer accountability. | observability |
| 09 | Security controls | KMS-backed key management, secrets rotation, vulnerability scanning, misconfiguration detection, network segmentation. | security |
| 10 | Backup & recovery | Scheduled backups, restore drills, and failure-mode testing budgets across staging and future production environments. | reliability |
Provider-neutral evaluation.
Cosint may evaluate major cloud and infrastructure programs based on fit, cost, security posture, geospatial-data alignment, and startup-support availability. No partnership or credit award is implied or claimed.
Security posture
Data residency options, KMS / HSM availability, private networking, identity integration, audit log fidelity.
Geospatial fit
Map tile services, spatial indexes, review-area geometry primitives, geocoding cost and quality.
AI inference
Available model families, throughput, residency controls, and evaluation tooling for calibration regression checks.
Cost
Predictable per-workspace cost envelope; egress and inference cost transparency; reasonable steady-state pricing past credit windows.
Startup support
Documented credit programs, technical support depth, security review pathways for early-stage companies.
Reliability
SLA, multi-region options, backup / restore primitives, and operational tooling for incident response.
No cloud provider has endorsed Sentra. No partnership exists or is implied. Provider names are listed strictly as evaluation candidates.
