Architecture

1Password’s production architecture is centered on a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted vault service, where plaintext is encrypted on the client before reaching 1Password’s servers. Publicly available sources confirm hybrid cloud deployment patterns for components such as the SCIM bridge, but they do not reliably expose the company’s full internal database stack or all backend infrastructure details.

Architecture

CrowdStrike Falcon uses a cloud-native SaaS architecture on AWS where lightweight endpoint sensors stream filtered telemetry into a multi-tenant Security Cloud, backed by the Threat Graph graph database and large-scale streaming/analytics pipelines for detection, response, and management console services.[4][8] The heavy correlation, ML-based detections, and XDR analytics run in this cloud backend; customers do not host core Falcon infrastructure themselves.[5][8]
