Elastic, Reliable
Always Online
CNWAYLab X is built on a Kubernetes cloud-native foundation: containerized deployment, microservices governance, elastic scaling, and multi-active disaster recovery. Supports flexible deployment on public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud with 99.99% SLA availability.
Four-Layer Cloud-Native Architecture
From infrastructure to application, each layer is independently decoupled, scales on demand, and self-heals. CNWAYLab X's architecture follows Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) best practices.
Infrastructure Layer
Supports Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud, AWS, and other major public clouds; supports VMware vSphere and OpenStack private clouds; supports bare-metal server direct deployment. All environments are uniformly abstracted and managed via Kubernetes.
Orchestration Layer
Production-grade Kubernetes (K8s) clusters, integrated with Istio service mesh, Helm application orchestration, and ArgoCD GitOps continuous deployment. Auto-scaling (HPA/VPA), node affinity scheduling, and resource quota management.
Data & Middleware Layer
Distributed PostgreSQL cluster (Patroni + etcd), Redis Sentinel high-availability cache, RabbitMQ message queue, Elasticsearch full-text search, MinIO object storage. All components support multi-replica + automatic failover.
Application Layer
50+ microservice modules: sample management, testing workflows, report generation, instrument integration, audit trails, notification push, and more. Services communicate via gRPC/GraphQL with unified API gateway authentication and rate limiting.
Cloud-Native Core Capabilities
More than just "moving to the cloud" — CNWAYLab X deeply leverages the elasticity, observability, and self-healing capabilities of the cloud-native technology stack so infrastructure truly serves business continuity.
Elastic Scaling
HPA auto-scaling based on CPU/memory/request QPS. Automatically scales up during peak periods (e.g., daily batch submission windows) and scales down during idle periods to reduce costs. CronHPA supports scheduled scaling for cyclical business peaks and valleys.
Canary Releases & Rollback
Istio-based traffic splitting for canary deployments: new version initially receives 5% of traffic for validation, then gradually ramps up after monitoring confirms no issues. One-click rollback to the previous stable version at any point — RTO <30 seconds.
Full-Stack Observability
Prometheus + Grafana metrics monitoring, Jaeger distributed tracing, ELK centralized logging — a unified three-pillar observability platform. Application performance, business metrics, and infrastructure health all visible on a single pane of glass.
Zero-Trust Security
Inter-service mTLS mutual authentication, network policy micro-segmentation, API gateway OAuth2.0/OIDC unified authentication, Secret Manager encrypted sensitive data storage — meeting Level 3 classified protection and ISO 27001 security requirements.
Multi-Active Disaster Recovery
Intra-city dual-active + offsite disaster recovery architecture: database streaming replication with real-time sync, cross-region object storage replication. RPO <10 seconds, RTO <5 minutes. Regular DR drills ensure plan effectiveness.
CI/CD Continuous Delivery
GitOps-driven continuous delivery pipeline: code commit → automated build → image scanning → test environment deployment → automated testing → production release. Average time from code merge to production launch <2 hours.
Three Deployment Modes
Choose the deployment approach that best fits your IT strategy, compliance requirements, and budget. All modes use the same codebase with zero functional differences.
SaaS Public Cloud
Multi-tenant, securely isolated cloud LIMS service. Subscribe on demand, start immediately. CNWAYLab handles all operations and compliance validation — zero ops cost for the client.
On-Premises Deployment
Deploy the full K8s cluster + LIMS service suite within the client's own data center or dedicated cloud. Meets high compliance requirements such as data retention on-premises and private network isolation.
Hybrid Cloud
Core data and audit trails reside in the private environment, while compute-intensive services (AI/ML training, reporting) are dispatched to public cloud elastic resources — balancing security and efficiency.
