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 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:

  1. Go to facets.cloud/signup.
  2. Fill in the form with your work email and a brief description of your use case. No credit card is required.
  3. A verification email arrives from no-reply@notifications.facets.cloud. Click the link to confirm your address.
  4. 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:

  1. Request a demo: the Facets team will scope requirements with you.
  2. 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.
  3. The Facets team deploys the control plane into your account. You receive a welcome email with your tenant URL and a password-reset link.
