MerTekStak
- Manage configured platforms.
- Verify builds before release.
- Review cloud operation plans.
MerTekStak is the control plane for MerTekCore-based platforms. It keeps platform configuration, cloud environments, build evidence, and release operations visible to authorized operators.

Manage platforms from configuration.
MerTekStak treats each managed product as a database-configured platform. Similar names do not create hidden coupling: no managed platform is built in by name.
Platform records
Name, domain, provider, repository, environments, and deployment policy are explicit platform data.
Provider catalog
AWS is the first live provider; Azure and GCP are present canonically but unavailable until implemented.
Controlled setup
Operators choose from options and presets while MerTekStak derives the cloud-facing details.
Verify before production.
A build becomes deployable only after the configured pipeline produces evidence from restore, migration, smoke-test, and artifact checks.
Build watcher
Configured refs can be watched by a background job that verifies the newest useful commits.
Fresh data restore
Verification environments use selected production or source backups before migration testing.
Commit signals
Successful verification can mark commits as deployable through configured repository signals.
Operate with reviewable plans.
Setup and deployment flows create plans first. Cloud mutation is queued only after the operator confirms the generated operation.
Setup plans
Derived web, data, database, cache, artifact, health-check, and secret settings stay visible.
Deploy operations
Each deploy records steps, attempts, logs, configuration snapshots, and resulting health evidence.
Test environments
Operators can publish a selected commit to test without making that build production-deployable.
Staging environments
Staging follows the production deployment path against selected backups so migrations are exercised.
Artifact pipelines
Managed platforms can configure their own artifact outputs while MerTekStak itself remains web/data only.
Admin-only access
The interface is built for a few complete administrators, not public users or self-service customers.
Cloud-first, AWS-first.
The first working path targets AWS. Azure and GCP remain visible as canonical unavailable options so the schema does not need to be redesigned later.
AWS live path
Provider configuration, credentials, regions, and runtime resources are modeled for the first deployable implementation.
Azure unavailable
Azure is seeded as a disabled option so operators can see it is planned but not selectable.
GCP unavailable
GCP is also seeded as unavailable and can be enabled after the AWS path is complete.
