Dashboard architecture

Vifu publishes one deployment-local Dashboard. The same open application is embedded in the vifu binary and can run beside a self-managed Vifu Server.

Open Dashboard

The open Dashboard is attached to one Vifu Server. Its server-side shell uses the deployment Admin Key and creates an HttpOnly browser session. The browser calls a same-origin proxy and never receives the Admin Key.

The release binary embeds the same views directly. Run vifu, use the TUI for live activity, and press B to open the Dashboard served at the same Server address.

It owns only Runtime operations: projects, Agents, Providers, endpoints, keys, Gateway connections, traces, releases, deployment status, and Runtime settings. It does not own account login, organizations, billing, cloud ownership, or production deployment configuration.

Hosted Vifu Cloud Console

The same Vifu.dev application serves login at vifu.dev and the Console at dashboard.vifu.dev. The Console receives an HttpOnly parent-domain session, asks the account API for projects visible to that user, and obtains short-lived Runtime authority on the server. It imports the open @vifu/console views, but keeps account sessions, identity integration, ownership checks, and Runtime grants in the hosted application boundary.

Dependency direction

Hosted products can import Vifu's open runtime views. The open Dashboard never imports account or Cloud control-plane code.
