Get Your Control Plane
Get a Facets control plane: hosted SaaS in minutes, or self-hosted PaaS on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Pick the install path that fits. SaaS for the fastest start; self-hosted PaaS when you need to run the control plane inside your own cloud account (data residency, network isolation, BYOC pricing).
SaaS
Sign up for a hosted Facets tenant, the fastest way to start. No cloud account or installer required.
PaaS
Self-host the Facets control plane in your own cloud account: AWS, GCP, or Azure.
SaaS vs Enterprise Plan: which to pick
Two ways to get a running control plane, suited to different compliance, data-residency, and team-size requirements.
SaaS (hosted by Facets)
The fastest way to get started. Facets provisions and manages a dedicated tenant for you: there is nothing to install and no cloud account to connect before you can begin.
SaaS tenants are fully isolated. Each organisation gets its own tenant; you are not sharing compute or storage with other customers.
How to get access:
- Go to facets.cloud/signup.
- Fill in the form with your work email and a brief description of your use case. No credit card is required.
- A verification email arrives from
no-reply@notifications.facets.cloud. Click the link to confirm your address. - Sign in at app.facets.cloud. Your tenant is ready immediately.
What you get:
- Full Facets UI, CLI, and API access
- Praxis AI agents pre-enabled
- A starter quota suitable for evaluation and growing-team workloads
When you outgrow the SaaS tier or have data-residency, network-isolation, or bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) pricing requirements, migrate to the Enterprise Plan.
Enterprise Plan (self-hosted / PaaS)
On the Enterprise Plan, the Facets control plane is deployed directly into your own cloud account, AWS, GCP, or Azure. You own the infrastructure; Facets helps you install and maintain it.
The Enterprise Plan is the right choice when you need data residency in a specific region, strict network isolation, or BYOC pricing arrangements. All control-plane data stays inside your account boundary.
Key characteristics:
- Runs in your VPC / VNet, no Facets-managed infrastructure touches your account after install
- Region of your choice; you communicate your preference to the Facets team before deployment
- The Facets team handles the initial provisioning (typically under 60 minutes) and ongoing upgrades
- Resource sizing changes can be requested at any time via support@facets.cloud
- Supports AWS, GCP, and Azure. See the per-cloud installation guides linked below
Getting started:
- Request a demo: the Facets team will scope requirements with you.
- You will receive a personalised link to launch a CloudFormation template (AWS) or equivalent automation on GCP/Azure. This creates a scoped IAM role (or service account) in your cloud account. Facets never requires root or IAM user credentials.
- The Facets team deploys the control plane into your account. You receive a welcome email with your tenant URL and a password-reset link.
