High-Level Architecture
Brighthive uses a three-tier architecture that provides dedicated, isolated infrastructure for every customer: Tier 1: Shared Platform — The webapp, GraphQL API, BrightAgent AI system, and Neo4j metadata graph run on shared infrastructure. Tier 2: Workspace Accounts — Each customer workspace gets a dedicated AWS account with Redshift Serverless (3-AZ), Snowflake (via Datapiary), and DBT Cloud for transformations. Tier 3: Organization Accounts — Each data-providing organization gets a dedicated AWS account with S3 storage, Glue Data Catalog, and cross-account IAM roles for secure data sharing.Key Differentiators
- Dedicated Infrastructure: Every customer gets isolated AWS accounts — not shared tenancy. Your data warehouse, storage, and compute are yours alone.
- AI-Native: BrightAgent’s multi-agent system (LangGraph) is built into the platform, not bolted on. Ask questions in plain English and get analysis, visualizations, and dbt models.
- Graph-Powered Metadata: Neo4j serves as the single source of truth for all metadata, lineage, and relationships across your entire data estate.
- Cross-Account Security: Organization data is shared to workspaces through IAM-based cross-account roles — no data copying, no shared credentials.
- Automated Schema Discovery: Glue crawlers auto-detect schemas when data lands in S3, register metadata in Neo4j, and make it immediately queryable.
