Connecting
Overview
How Parix exposes cluster connectivity today and why the gateway sits in front of TigerBeetle.
Parix keeps TigerBeetle behind a managed gateway path. Use this page to understand what your application connects to before choosing a client or API integration.
Connection model
The connect flow resolves a database-specific gateway route from:
- the stored database profile, when available
- a control-plane helper that builds the database gateway URL
The public application boundary is the Parix API. Provider-local gateway addresses remain private infrastructure.
What this means in practice
- you connect to a Parix-managed endpoint, not directly to provider replicas
- the control plane can keep provider routing private
- request authentication and routing context stay inside the platform boundary
Current access surfaces
The repository exposes two connection styles:
- client examples through the dashboard Connect page
- HTTP TigerBeetle operations through
/api/v1/databases/{databaseId}/tb/{operation}
What it does not expose as a public product surface:
- a public raw TigerBeetle control-plane API
- direct public replica management endpoints
